LATEST RANKING
THESE are the guys who want to control the planet in its every aspect, using nations and international organizations as pawns while constantly pushing new technologies like AI which will allow them to increase their massive fortunes while simultaneously giving them more control of the economy and, really, over every aspect of our everyday lives.
What do they want? The question is best answered by this scene from the 1948 movie, Key Largo.
Here then are the world’s Top Tech Supervillains.
1.) ELON MUSK.
NO ONE has worked harder to become a global supervillain than Elon, whose very name fits the role. Richest man on earth, has satellites around the world, playing footsie with dictators in China, Russia, and Saudi Arabia while at the same time sending rocketships into space for the U.S. Defense Department and possibly for intelligence agencies. Recently bought the most influential social media site (sorry, Mark Z) to use as a plaything and direct discourse his way. Is also behind something called Neuralink involving implants into the human brain (!!!) AND is investing heavily in robotics and AI. Musk also, I’m told, runs a car company, and claims to be at the forefront of driverless vehicles. Total control over all of humanity? This guy wants it. One more thing: he also plans for his base of operations to be on Mars! I guess in case the world’s wiped out via one of his schemes.
Estimated worth per Investopedia: $238 billion.
2.) BILL GATES
A FORMER #1 supervillain, this frequent visitor to Epstein Island would make the list on Creepiness-with-a-Capital-C alone, best exhibited in his 1998 Senate testimony about whether or not Microsoft was engaging in monopolistic business practices. (Editor’s Note: Of course they were!) Since then Gates has operated with a lower profile– but one which involves conspiracy stories about buying up huge tracts of land in America, pushing vaccines on Africa, and backing the leading chatbot outfit, OpenAI, with many billions of dollars. If you use Word or Microsoft products in any way you’ll see they’re at the forefront of integrating AI technology into, well, everything.
Estimated worth: $137 billion.
3.) MARK ZUCKERBERG
THIS FOUNDER and CEO of Meta (Facebook etc.) has moved up a notch in the standings because he’s aggressively pursuing AI, as well as billions of dollars of investments in a fake “meta” world of virtual reality, or escaping into electronic artificial insanity. Not to mention Zuck has always looked the part of hyperrich supervillain, AND has raised his profile by his willingness to take on Supervillain #1 Elon Musk in a globally-televised cage match. He’s not playing!
Estimated worth: $117 billion.
4.) JEFF BEZOS
BEZOS MAY BE the most ruthless businessman on the planet in his pursuit of total Amazon monopoly intending to be THE only business left standing– but he makes the list for his reputed insane laugh and the fact he now possesses the world’s largest yacht– displacing Vlad Putin’s in that category.
Estimated worth: $157 billion.
OTHERS: Several weird hyper-billionaires lurk just outside these four, including: Peter Thiel, Sam Altman, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, and a whole lotta wannabes, all who’d make a character like Auric Goldfinger appear small time. We’d give thorough descriptions of all of them, but we don’t wish to overly frighten the reader. Unfortunately, this isn’t a movie or a comic book, it’s reality.
