So 7 ? Ok let's go :
- tim cook
- bill gates
- zuckerberg
- bernard arnault
- bezos
- musk
- brian thompson , oh no wait
There are way mooore than seven though ! ! Maybe I should have make an ordered list ? 🤔😅
Bill Gates doesn't belong on that list. He's an entirely different league of vile, and he actively tries to change that image.
He's no Mark Cuban, but he sure ain't no Peter Thiel, who is glaringly missing from your list.
The guy that got kicked out of his company for sexual harassment, tried to rehabilitate Epstein in the eyes of high society, prevented a COVID vaccine patent from being made available to the entire world, and set the stage to tech-feudalism by illegally creating a monopoly, doesn't belong where?
He's even fellating Trump non stop nowadays.
I'm not saying Gates is a saint. I know that he ain't.
Thiel is literally "the illuminati", and I don't think there's a single good thing he's done with his wealth. There are plenty more billionaires that deserve a seat in The Seven ahead of Gates.
Bill Gates pushed to keep the Covid vaccine he was a part of private so he could profit from it. Against the wishes of the scientists working on it and against the precedent set by the creator of the Polio Vaccine.
“Well, the people, I would say. There is no patent. Could you patent the sun?”
Fossil fuel execs, nestle ceo didn't even make the cut. What kind of inverse golden age are we living in.
Turns out narrowing the list down to a mere seven isn't so easy. There's just so... many.
I don't want to defend any of these narcissists, but every single fossil fuel, pharma, MIC owner/CEO of the 20th C is probably a hundred times more evil — more responsible for fascism and Trump — than any of these tech bros jumping in at the last mile. Those old guard oligarchs have been bribing politicians for decades.
Non owner CEO's like Brian Thompson are more like an "uncle Tom" class traitor — a figurehead/footsoldier — than an oligarch, and are a dime a dozen. The primary controlling shareholder(s) and board of directors are the Hydra, pulling the strings in the background.
Comparing Tim Cook to Lex Luthor is somehow an insult to both parties.
How did Andreessen and Theil not make this list of your's?
