Well if the title is for just 2023 I think musk has it, if we take overall negative impact in a lifetime then I’m not sure but musk is probably not as bad.

How the hell did Gates get eliminated in the first round??

EDIT: to people downvoting me, could any of you explain what good Bill Gates has done for the world of software?

Ok but what has he done to earn a nomination as the worst person in tech?

Being bought out by Facebook doesn’t seem to qualify, especially when Zuckerberg lost in the first round too…

How did Nadella lose to Altman? Nadella is the reason Altman is what it is now. The reason open ai is not anymore an independent no profit research team to push open AI solutions.

He’s the king maker of evil tech. Nadella vs Musk is the only possible final. Whoever voted is insulting one of 2 main contender. Like CEO of BP losing to a gas pump owner

It’s almost as if this is the most popular worst tech person. It’s like that year all of Reddit voted EA the worst company in the world. There are companies out there costing people their lives by intentional malfeasance but a company is doing video games dirty is the worst…

At this point it’s like choosing cancer over Alzheimer’s. Die from excruciating inner torment or infuriate everyone else until you die.

I dunno, some of these votes are like comparing stage 4 leukemia to a mere urinary tract infection, and the UTI is somehow winning.

Zuck is bad sure, but he’s not a jackass, at least not publicly, he might not have made the best decision for meta but the company is by no means failing, Elon is just so much worse on every level.

Not failing, but actively ignoring Metas own research that shows Facebook is directly harmful to children and teens.

I’d say actively continuing to harm children should outrank being a jackass and/or incompetence.
