Westinghouse, too.

They made turbines and generating equipment, then made blenders and assorted kitchen and housewares, then they made nukes, and bought CBS.

And lest we forget general electric (they bought NBC)

Can I get the GAU-8 as an add-on for my dryer? The heat from the barrels helps to get the wrinkles out

It could be a “remember what you’re fighting for” meme and it’s russians trying to complete a kitchen set

That makes way more sense, except the gun is the one part not visible in the meme. Like yes, most of the plane is the gun, but they cropped the only visible part.
