Definitely would add Bezos and Musk. Bezos is one of the most managerially/business astute CEOs and Musk is able to will futuristic companies basically out of thin air.



I think bezos has to show continued dominance - but he's obviously up there. I don't know I'd you can call it for muak without a few decades to see whether his companies stick. Sure, he's changed the conception of electric cars and made low earth orbit really accessible, but as a CEO and leader it's still not clear whether he can lead that revolution long term or if some of his more erratic tendencies will bring things down. Tesla still isn't a stable, well functioning business (and as he veo he just put an awful lot of people at risk with his behavior during the pandemic - look at what's happening in Italy - he defied the rules meant to prevent that. I dont think that sounds like leadership). But in the long run he very could be.


”Bezos has to show continued dominance”....?

Please say that is a typo, surely it should say...

Bezos has shown continued dominance

Amazon is a huge conglomerate on a huge scope and scale. Bezos has built a book store into a Japanese style mega-corp.

AWS is killing it, Amazon.com is killing it, Prime is killing it, A9 is killing it, Whole is killing in....

So many subsidiaries: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazon_(company)


It takes a while to become a legend. He's well on his way, but it's not something you really want to call till the end if their careers. Even then, might be too soon, look at how people viewed jack Welch at the end of his career versus now.
