These 13 tech giants have the best mottos to explain their plans for world domination

Amazon's mission hints at its world-ruling ambitions: "It's our goal to be Earth's most customer-centric company, where customers can find and discover anything online."

Apple's mission statement is pretty dull. This one is current as of about 2013.

"Apple designs Macs, the best personal computers in the world, along with OS X, iLife, iWork and professional software. Apple leads the digital music revolution with its iPods and iTunes online store. Apple has reinvented the mobile phone with its revolutionary iPhone and App Store, and is defining the future of mobile media and computing devices with iPad."

Google's mission statement is straightforward and hasn't changed since 1998: "Google’s mission is to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful."

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg often preaches a mission to "connect the world." The company's official mission is high-minded, if somewhat less ambitious: "Facebook’s mission is to give people the power to share and make the world more open and connected."

Ride-hailing app Uber has a similarly simple, bold, mission. "Transportation as reliable as running water, everywhere for everyone."

Netflix doesn't exactly have a formal mission statement. But in October 2011, CEO Reed Hastings outlined four bullet points for what he wants the company to be all about.

Becoming the best global entertainment distribution service
Licensing entertainment content around the world
Creating markets that are accessible to film makers
Helping content creators around the world to find a global audience

Twitter's mission is "To give everyone the power to create and share ideas and information instantly, without barriers."

In its first-ever official blog post, Snapchat laid out its own vision: "Snapchat isn't about capturing the traditional Kodak moment. It's about communicating with the full range of human emotion—not just what appears to be pretty or perfect."

File storage app Dropbox had a broad mission, at least as of 2011: "The mission of Dropbox is to simplify life for people around the world."

In 2015, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella unveiled a new, sort of vague mission statement: "Our mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more."

Yahoo has had a lot of mission statements over its 20 year history. In late 2015, it got a new one: "Yahoo is a guide focused on making users' digital habits inspiring and entertaining."

Tesla Motors' mission statement is pretty pragmatic: "To accelerate the world’s transition to sustainable transport."

"Reddit is the world's largest & best platform for online communities to share & connect." Well, you can't argue with that.
