I have spent time thinking about who would become the next CEO and even without mushrooms my brain came up with a totally out of context idea:

Bill Gates.

Microsoft is after all invested in OpenAI, and Bill Gates has become "loved by all" (who dont remember evil Gates of the yesteryears.

I am not saying it will happen, 99,999% it wont but still he is well known and may be a good face to splash on top of OpenAI.

After all he is one of the biggest charity guys now right?

Is Bill Gates really loved by all ? I feel like it was the case before COVID, but then his reputation seemed to go from loved to hated

Don't forget about his ties to Jeffrey Epstein.

What was it he did wrong during Covid? Honest question I usually pay little attention the guy

Being old and having lived through Evil Gates, when he made a lot of hostile and legally dubois things to ensure of the growth and safety from competitors, I lived in a bubble that he was one of the worst people in tech.

Seeing how now only knew the smiling "philanthropist" who comments on having solutions to all sorts of world problems it seems like a big bubble really do like him now.

I exaggerated by claiming "all", I could have said "many" and it would be a more accurate statement.

To me he will remain evil Gates.

During covid there were crazy conspiracies were he supposedly wanted to put chips in people's brains, which signiciantly affected his public image

I can't imagine he would be interested in a C-office role at this point. Board member? Sure.
