You are correct. An individual developer's narrowly-scoped view of their work is not the same as an executive's view of the entire business.

It means he has a controlling share over the money and all the power.

This thread is bizarre.

He can run the day to day string pulling however he wants, he is literally the one with all the power.

Is it bizarre? Or is it you surrealist line of thinking here? What's your angle here? Man with power and money == A cornerstone knowledge base if you want know anything about AI? Wtf.

The question was, ‘who is in charge’, not ‘who I think should be, if it was my money’.

Y’all are delusional.

If you think they’re idiots, go start your own companies and eat their lunch. They got rich by eating someone else’s lunch, after all.

Right now, it is their game to lose.

Trump, Musk, Andreessen, Thiel, Biden, and Bankman-Fried all have or had a lot of power, and I would look to none of them if I wanted to get a better understanding of reality. If anything, I expect this kind of skin in the game to be strongly anticorrelated with providing useful takes; these are the people with the greatest incentives to mislead the public.
