Not hard control, but I think they had a pretty big impact on where Rust headed (not in direction, but prioritization), even in the 1.x days, though more in core ecosystem than in the language itself. E.g. I doubt Rust would be in it's dominant position regarding WASM, if it weren't for Mozilla.

If Mozilla were to hire engineers to work on bringing Rust to a new platform then it would have the same effect now. I don't want to downplay Mozilla's many contributions to Rust in any way but I also acknowledge they worked hard to ensure Rust operated independently of any organisation, including themselves.
