Ignoring Carmack's relative lack of wealth compared to guys like Musk or Bezos, he's not exactly some perfect overseer of all technology. Yeah hes a great coder, but outside of that he's a fairly milquetoast personality and not much of an entrepreneur. His big bet on Facebook on VR vs Valve seems questionable to me as well. This the problem with hero worship, it blinds you to the faults of your hero to the point where you're attacking others because your guy couldn't do it.
