      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.

      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.
