K Zuckerberg.
Eh, seriously though. To me, they all feel like conmen that engage in bad behavior to some extent.
I have to say that I admire Zuckerberg the least of this group because the bad behavior of Facebook feels so much more personal. I think you can almost get away with that stuff if you're charismatic like Steve Jobs and have good taste, but that's IMO not him at all.
As far as Musk goes, I think it's impossible for him to have a fair shake these days because of his disputes with the media in taking away their checkmarks and disagreeing with many of them politically. I can write out a long list of stuff I disagree with Elon Musk on, but I think most people aren't going to weigh everything fairly right now because he's having his 2 minutes of hate in the press.
With Bezos, it feels like he'd be willing to do anything to succeed, no matter how crooked. That's admirable in terms of succeeding in business, but maybe not so much as a person.
Of all of these people, IMO Musk is the only one that has a realistic chance at a super positive legacy. 40 years from now, Amazon and Facebook might still be some boring megacorporations or not. That's great for their descendants' wallets, but who cares about them otherwise? With Musk, you're probably not going to remember specific details of his shitposting on X that angered you, but the Earth might be a better place from some technology he was heavily involved in.
