Looked for this comment! All those C*Os and founders are good and successful politicians, not nerds. There was a colossal PR campaign to picture them as nerds for multiple reasons, but most of them never created like nerds would do (with a passion, going deep, enjoying the process & the result). Politicians become successful due to skills incompatible with nerd mindset. Look at Linus, he could built an empire but he's a git.
