Here's the NYT article https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/25/business/media/the-onion-sold.html

The name Global Tetrahedron is, in true Onion fashion, a winking reference to a sinister fictional company featured in the book “Our Dumb Century,” which was written by The Onion’s staff and published in 1999.

I love that book. I often think about the article from 2000 about all the world's corporations merging into OmniCorps and how close that is to becoming a reality.
