Americans have a deep fawning respect for 'wealth creators' beyond the normal so any of these guys can easily win, Bezos, Zuckerberg, Benioff, Musk unless they are comprised by some sexual or corruption scandal or the business tanks. Bezos and Zuckerberg especially will likely win.
This is not a cynical dismissal of their achievements, anyone on this forum knows its not easy to do what they have done, and most of us I suspect even harsh critics for being sellouts do admire their achievements because it is not easy and requires intense work.
And also luck as many have worked as hard without results, but building a fair and prosperous society takes more than creating a business but many of us do not see the difference and have become slavish devotees of wealth. So none of the folks from the open source movement stand a chance even though they have shown vision and created more real and social wealth than the above put together. Our loss.
