In general we want the richest and most powerful members of society to behave predictably, and ideally rationally, so that we can make long term plans without worrying about the fickleness of a small number of people. We have a lot of problems to solve over the next few decades and chaos agents in the billionaire ranks won't help. Global economic growth depends on predictability.

If we want another chaos agent in charge we should elect them democratically.

I think predictability is irrelevant as long as change is positive. I am OK with unpredictability of having SpaceX for instance.
