Why is this even a contest? We all know who the “winner” is going to be.

I don’t. Bezos and Musk are both terrible, even if I would say Bezos is worse. For just tech it would probably be Musk? But who knows, Altman and his shenanigans are also a frontrunner for me.

Just tech, clearly Musk. I’d argue Peter Thiel is the worst among the others for direct political influence, but that wasn’t the question and name recognition is everything.

I just know Thiel as an influence for major tech companies, and some of his opinions on eg monopolies. Outside of those companies I don’t know any example of political influence. Do you have some?

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.
