Fortune notes that Musk received first place for his innovative spirit and developed intuition, which tells him which risky bets are worth making.
In the recent US elections, Musk supported Donald Trump, donating more than $130 million on his behalf. Trump’s victory gave the businessman “an unprecedented level of power and influence in both business and politics,” Fortune writes.
Media reported that even before Trump won the election, Musk had already asked him for favors. According to the New York Times, he asked to hire some SpaceX employees for government jobs.
Also in the top ten are: Warren Buffett, CEO and chairman of Berkshire Hathaway (fourth place); James Dimon, CEO and chairman of JPMorgan Chase (fifth place); Tim Cook, CEO of Apple (sixth place); CEO and founder of Meta* Mark Zuckerberg (seventh place); Sam Altman, CEO and founder of OpenAI (8th place); Mary Barra, CEO and president of General Motors (ninth place); Sundar Pichai, CEO of Alphabet (10th place).
*Meta and its Facebook and Instagram members are recognized as extremist organizations whose activities are prohibited in the Russian Federation.
