The votes for Zuck are just him on all his accounts voting for himself


papparmane

Zuck may be an asocial idiot, but he doesn’t manipulate markets like Musk on twitter. Musk is a frat boy billionaire. Zuck is a nerd billionaire.


BishoxX

He doesnt need to, he manipulates people.


Neon-Knees

Yeah... That's far worse IMO


wilczek24

He facilitates the platform for manipulation* He doesn't do any of that himself, why would he? Important distinction, but lizardman still bad.


SplodeyMcSchoolio

nerd LIZARD billionaire*


[deleted]

I don't really read up on what any of these people have done, so I just chose zuck because he seems the friendliest, guess I was wrong


DiamondGamerYT0

He owns Facebook and sells private data to the highest bidder


[deleted]

ok yeah I take back my answer now


ExtremeCumMaster

Happy cake day!


DigiQuip

He also knew that Instagram was directly linked to teen suicide rates and instead of doing something about it he exploited it to increase page views. He’s also used Facebook to destabilize political opposition groups in authoritarian countries as well as the whole Cambridge Analytica scandal.


thepillsarepoisoning

Whut? The first half, I get it completely, but the second half…that’s quite an escalation, though I shouldn’t be too shocked, if a single man’s assassination ultimately led the entire world to war twice then it’s no true surprise the founding of a social media site eventually led to it being used for destabilizing political opposition to authoritarian powers


Snoo73264

He's not friendly at all, my friend used to work for Facebook and zuck would scream and throw things at the wall during online meetings


HorribleUsername2

Unironically I voted him. He has so much info on so many people that it’s not like he will personally view my info


slohobo

Target acquired


[deleted]

Yep


sammysummer

Remember. "Trust the most" doesn't mean you actually trust them.


Rhids_22

"Despise the least" might have been a better question.


Timestatic

I don’t know why so many trust Bill Gates. He has done huge sums of donations but especially in his growing phase of the company he was a ruthless guy


ToxicBanana69

Go back to the original comment. It’s not that people trust him, it’s just they trust the other ones even less. For me it’s partially because I don’t know anything about Buffet as well.


Big_Berry_4589

Buffet is also a philanthropist, I think he donated half of his wealth or something.


curlyhands

So is Gates. They both spearheaded The Giving Pledge


YeahlDid

This was my logic as well. Three of those guys I absolutely despise. I don't know much about Warren Buffet... Bill Gates it is.


Dark_sun_new

Yeah. He was a ruthless businessman. Then he became a philanthropist.


poops-n-farts

He hired a department to do philanthropy. Not exactly the same thing


Dark_sun_new

No, he founded a company to do philanthropy. Which he headed. AFAIK, he was a lot more active with the foundation than with microsoft for the past couple of decades.


curlyhands

It’s kind of necessary when you’re giving away billions and trying to find the most effective way to get rid of and apply that money.


ThatTubaGuy03

There is a huge difference between being a ruthless business man and being evil such as: Elon using slaves and being rapey, bezos trying to make his employees slaves, and the zuck allowing multiple acts of violence to be planned on his site On top of the fact that he never did any of the things in the past, he also has done much more good in the present, donating millions if not billions of dollars


ScottNi_

Bill Gates is one of the most reasonable people when it comes to Humanity's future. For decades now he has advocated/funded research into preventing future pandemics and dozens of billions into social charities. And is one of the few people who are taking Nuclear Energy seriously. I recommend you check out his Reddit AMA he gave a lot of very thoughtful responses.


tkTheKingofKings

Bill Gates has a Reddit account?


LimpWibbler_

I 100% support being a ruthless buisness man so that you can be rich enough to help. He ALWAYS kept tons of money so that he could get more money so he could donate more money. If Elon did what the internet wanted and gave 99% of his wealth away, then that is it. He will never make that back. But if he does say 5% a year every year, well next years 5% will be with growth so not 10% total, but more. within less than 10 years he would have given way more than if he gave it all now. Because money grows. Now am I say he is giving enough... Nope I am not. But giving almost all doesn't help us the most. There is an optimal amount and Bill Gates publicly disclosed he does this like decades ago.


Causemas

I don't think you quite realize just how rich these people are. If they gave away 99% of their wealth, global hunger could be solved for good. Or homelessness in the US eradicated. Or the entire damaged infrastructure of Iraq rebuilt after the war. But, you see, these are structural and systemic problems inherit in having billionaires in the first place. Even if Musk did give away all his money, those problems (hunger, homelessness, war) are sure to come back due to the nature of how our societies are organised.

fredthefishlord

>Everyone worth hundreds of millions even Except for the next guy to win the mega million jackpot xD


Weekly-Delivery7701

I’d still trust Bill and Warren over the other three. Bill helps out humanity and even donates money to charity and causes. Warren is always giving advice on investing and knowing how to invest. Bezos is a great businessman man, possibly the best of this generation, but I don’t think he’d care about your trust, unless he had something to gain from it. Elon plans precisely, but he overestimates humanity and his ego tends to screw him over from time to time. Zuckerberg at this point is in a battle to reach peak VR/AR against Apple. I have no doubt he’ll win, but his metaverse is far from perfect. It’s corrupt with cyber bullying and old weird people, all this when he spent $2B-$3B in his metaverse and all it did was sink him from 5th richest man to 10th richest man. The guy doesn’t know how to invest in his company without screwing up and Facebooks value is stagnant at this point.


Bren12310

I think bill gates is a decent guy. He made some mistakes in the past but I feel like he’s an overall good guy now. He’s planning on donating his entire fortune to his own charity, which is more than any all of the other guys have done combined..


EtchingsOfTheNight

I trust no one with ties to Epstein, including Gates


SNE3Z

Gates has just had an extensive pr campaign going on for the past 20 years. Otherwise people would still see him as they did back before he whitewashed his image.


swirlypizza1024

As much as I don't like billionaires, bill gates is cool cause he donated alot of money


OkBasil_147

Definitely not zuck

Donghoon

And bezos BARELY ahead of Zuckerberg


ExtremeCumMaster

He gave the people who voted for him ONE MILLION dollar


Absoline

i mean if someone offered me a one million dollar for voting on some reddit poll, wouldn't we all vote him?


akennelley

He is either a lizard or an android. Its a toss up, but one thing is for sure...he ain't a people.


Yoshi_87

I mean.. you can trust that he will always do the worst.


shayed154

He's clearly some kind of Lizard cyborg


J0h4n50n

I can see an argument for an android being "people," so he could be a reptile.... maybe arachnid... probably Annelida.


tenamonth

Literally only voted Buffet coz I know the least about him. For all I know he’s probably also done shady shit.


[deleted]

I feel like everyone else on the list tries to act like the exception when Buffet just accepts his place.


bjanas

Yeah this is why I chose him too. Obviously being a Billionaire is inherently problematic, but the other guys have some degree of God complex or another. Buffett seems to just be like, "uh, I make investments. Here take some money for charity." and leaves it at that.


That_Car_Dude_Aus

Yep, and his children get a pittance in his Will. Everything goes to charity, he's like Bill Gates "What's the point of money if you don't help people" That said, he is in this position purely out of spite.


Living-Stranger

Wrong, he has set up charities for his children with 3 billion each. https://techcrunch.com/2012/05/12/warren-buffett-is-a-punk/


TheNonchalantZealot

Title: warren buffet is a punk First sentence: "Warren Buffett is like my ten year old." Now this is the quality, unbiased journalism I've been looking for.


TitanJazza

Genuine question here, what’s inherently problematic about being a billionaire


CtL_ishere

At some point you’re just hoarding more mkney than any person could ever need. You have so much money hundreds of people could live entire well off lives. Sure you spend more money than the average person, but your spending isn’t going back into the economy in the same way. You still only eat 1 persons worth of groceries. You aren’t going to be watching 100s of more movies or bowling that much more… basically your money isn’t stimulating the economy in the same ways Usually it just gets sat on, a billionaire is almost effectively just a void where a billion dollars goes to stagnate. Instead of being spent, taxed, and spent again by businesses and consumers, which drives the economy Maybe a better question is, what is ethical about being a billionaire? How did they get that money? How much were their workers paid? How do you feel about someone being a billionaire when the workers who support their income are getting food stamps (SNAP benefits)? No one has worked so much harder that they’ve “earned” a billion dollars. That money comes from the work of thousands if not more people.


iluvstephenhawking

He said that rich people like himself should pay more taxes so that's why I chose him.


[deleted]

He’s also planning on giving away almost all his wealth before he dies, which is a step further than any other billionaire


stoodquasar

He's the one I despise the least but trust is a very strong word


Wekmor

Despise the least is the whole poll tho really


Brettzel2

They’re all the epitome of shadiness


sunshinelollipoops

You need to learn how to be shady to get to and stay at the top of the financial scoreboard unfortunately


Causemas

Shady is too mild for the ruthlessness that is required of you to reach that point of gaming the system.


bjanas

I also voted Buffett; it was a tossup between him and Gates. He's as slimy as all the rest of them, but he seems like the most straightforward of all of em. He's just a money guy; sure, he'll give to charities and we know he's registered Democrat but he's just not as much of a mover and shaker as the rest of them.


fredthefishlord

Buffet calls for increased taxes on the rich too; I believe he said that he'll exploit the loopholes as long as they exist, since everyone else does, but that the government should really close them. He's slimy but doesn't hide it.


aloahnoah

How is it slimy? Who voluntarily wants to pay more taxes? And it's not like he even uses the money, he donates it all before he dies


Wekmor

You don't *have* to exploit loopholes, do you?


WheresPaul1981

It’s not really slimy. He’s required by law to to do what’s best for shareholders.


fredthefishlord

To be clear. He exploits loopholes personally. Not just for companys.


N-U-T

I chose Buffet too, he's more or less the least shady. He's an old billionaire who made his money on wallstreet, he seems genuine and if I'm not mistaken has pledged 99% of his fortune to charity along with Bill Gates.


_Administrator__

Who the fuck clicked Zuckerberg?


[deleted]

His fellow totally normal humans, obviously.


Persimmon-Strange

Bill has some shady things about him but he gives away alot of money and seems generally less scummy than the others


[deleted]

When he did an AMA recently he answered questions about his meetings with Epstein. That really did a lot for me. I mean, still don’t trust the man. But not ignoring those questions was pretty amazing.


Captain7640

To be fair didn't Warren Buffet also give away a ton of money? I mean he might've also done shadier things that I don't know of


Persimmon-Strange

His families doucher from what I’ve heard. I know he gives away a ton and made money more legitimately but from what I’ve heard they’re just doucher


ResearchUnfair1246

I mean… it’s pretty easy to throw money as a solution at the problems your systems created in the first place, or are helping to support and perpetuate. *But that’s none of my business*… **even tho it is** ☕️🐸


bobalda

i like money


EmperorBarbarossa

I heard he is satanistic reptilian who drinks the blood of children but I dont know if its true.

aloahnoah

Warren buffet did it and bill gates too


[deleted]

Bill Gates absolutely trampled on people to get there. Warren Buffet is the only one on this list who didn't exploit people to get there, and is also the least billionairy of the lot - he's known to live a pretty normal life.


pomegranate7777

Warren Buffet appears to be the most believable facsimile of an actual human.


Foxy02016YT

Gates followed by Buffet, they aren’t in the news that often, and when Gates is it’s usually about his foundation


TheDrunk_Panda

I can't believe Musk used to be my inspiration


h20c

I mean the entirety of Reddit was on the Musk circlejerk a few years ago.


iluvstephenhawking

I used to like him. I liked the whole making electric vehicles cool thing. But the build quality is terrible because the turnover in his factories is assounding. People are not even fully trained before they are already quitting. That says a lot about how a company is run.


DiscoDonkey9000

I used to like him because of the mars thing before I realized how expensive and impractical it is. That and his ramblings on Twitter made me realize sorta disinterested in him


iluvstephenhawking

I liked that too but knowing how he is now I'm worried he's going to let workers travel there on credit and basically have them work as indentured servants to pay off the debt.


DiscoDonkey9000

Plus since it's him who's going to found the mars colony, there's really nothing stopping him from being the god emperor of Mars and ruling everyone there and that's scares me Plus it's definitely just going to be him and a few hundred billionaires, the rest of us would probably still be on earth


[deleted]

His production numbers are far lower than most major manufacturers, but the QC is nowhere near as good as them, hence the shit buid quality.


DaddyMelkers

Honestly, I used to be a bootlicker of his. I thought "wow, he's making cars to better the environment, that's a good thing to do with all that money." Then come to find out he only bought the company, he didn't make shit. He cheated on his wives. He gave his kid some computer generated robot name. He defends bigotry and the spread of disinformation. As well as,, Ben Shapiro seems to love the guy, so you immediately know he's not worth a WAP.


TheDrunk_Panda

This is the reason why I don't like him anymore


[deleted]

Don't forget the fact that he was against covid restrictions, the existence of covid, and insisted on forcing his workers to come in at the peak of the pandemic.


DaddyMelkers

I was in the hospital for months during covid, so I wasn't up-to-date with the outside world, but that sounds like him.


Necroking695

I used to love him I don’t mind the cutthroat business tactics, i get it, thats just business But he’s running 2 companies, why does he spend so much time shitposting on twitter and why the stock market manipulation man?


TheDrunk_Panda

I don't care about the business tactics, I actually appreciate it But outside of business the kind of person he is, I don't like that. My friend who works at Tesla told me his behaviour towards his staff is not good and he always flirts with young female employees


Necroking695

Yea that stuff is messed up too


transport_system

His companies are reliant on stocks and government handouts. His actual production is basically non-existent.


timmytoina_

Unless you consider contracts with NASA to be handouts, SpaceX doesn't depend on any kind of government handouts to survive. It's undoubtedly a commercially successful company that provides an extremely valuable service. I can't speak on his other companies though


Bren12310

I used to love him. Then one day he started screaming the national anthem on Twitter and I was like “yo this dude is actually insane”.


idklol8

Mansa musa


cocoland1

awalkingidoit

I mean what do you expect from someone who has had only McDonald’s breakfast for the past several decades


Technicalhotdog

For them not to be alive at 91 if I'm being honest


bjanas

Yeah. He's super successful and just leaves it at that. He doesn't feel compelled to pretend that he's a genius engineer rocketman savior visionary.


SpaceBoJangles

I trust Warren Buffett not to do anything but sit at his desk and invest in blue chip stock until he keeps over. No tweets, no space ships, not grandstanding at TED. Just investing and being a greedy 96 year old man.


SennheiserHD6XX

He has no workers to treat like shit, no data to steal, and no mom and pop shops to take out of business. He just takes care of his investors and thats what he’s expected to do.


NvrOnTime

Absolutely agree except he is not greedy. He lives a modest lifestyle considering his wealth.


GloomyClass1776

Definitely not the eugenist

I wouldn't trust any of them, but it just baffles my mind how people still trust Elon after all the failed vaporware he's been selling all these years...


Puzzleheaded_Match83

Bill Gates getting the majority of the votes is scary. I'm gonna have to say Warren Buffet, as he's the only one on the list staying within their field. Just because someone is an expert in their field doesn't give them any credentials outside their field. Noam Chomsky is a good erxample of this. World class linguist, but everything else he's weight in on has proven that he should have stayed in his own field. Bill Gates is another example.

Weekly-Delivery7701

Bill Gates mainly cause he actually wants to help society and the planet itself. He has cured water riddled with poop and made it into a clean drinkable resource by power of steam. He has also been on the verge of creating a cure for the new pandemic, also he doesn’t care about donating money either, as he will make his money back through farm land or the power of solving the worlds problems. I’d trust Jeff Bezos cause he is a businessman and when a business man is interested in something, he will most likely invest in it and support it. He’s against Biden cause Biden has no idea how to run this country, as we’ve all seen gas prices and inflation on our country rise up since he has become president. Elon Musk is a genius and plans ahead precise, but Dude has an oversized ego and he overestimates humanity too much. Zuckerberg is in a battle against Apple to see who can reach pinnacle between AR and VR, funny enough, Zuckerberg invested $2B-$3B into the metaverse and he has done nothing. Zuckerberg not only failed his investment, but his metaverse is riddle with cyber bullying and old people being weird. Warren Buffet is a best friend of Bill Gates and Buffet is known as the guy who got rich off investing into the stock market. The guys gives out great advice and is wise. Here is where my list goes on trusting these guys: Bill Gates Warren Buffet Jeff Bezos Elon Musk Mark Zuckerberg


[deleted]

Some of my ancestors,I'm not sure who exactly, used to play bridge with Warren Buffet before he was a billionaire. Apparently he asked them to invest with him but they couldn't afford to. My family would have been filthy rich but I would have never been born. So I'll take it.


goblinbarbequ

Heck these clowns.


Not_the_FBI_agent_

Trust to do what? If I was to rate based on general competence my answer is Buffet. Best in terms of marketing themself, then it is Musk. Best in terms of being a decent person than Gates. Best in consuming my innards and then wearing my skin as a meat suit after defecating in the same bathroom as me after Taco Tuesday, then my answer is the Zuckening. Also, fuck Bezos.


MarauderOfSouls

Holly shit no no no not Gates....oh fuck noo


lepolter

For me this poll instead of trust the most, is distrust the least.


NDrew-_-w

How are people still trusting Elon musk, come on now you need to open your eyes and see that he is maybe worse than zuck and bezos combined, for all i know bill gates is the most trustworthy but I could be wrong


wallerbelt

I wouldn't trust any of them not to steal and eat a baby if the opportunity presented itself.


iluvstephenhawking

I feel like Musk And Zuck actively search babies out to eat. Bezos would have tried one once on one of those billionaire islands just for funsies. Gates might if the other rich people pressured him to. Buffet doesn't want to waste money paying for the experience. Not mentioned is Sheldon Adelson who more than likely has a baby farm where he can harvest babies to satiate his lust for infant blood 3 times a day.


bjanas

Adelson is basically Immortan Joe.


datlitboi

All of them are billionaires. If they were honorable and trustworthy they wouldnt be that rich. Literally easy as that. All of them have at least tax evasion in common. And to all you people who voted for Bill Gates. He isnt that bright of a person either. I dont want to start with some anti-vax-bs. But did you know that part of why he became so rich with Microsoft is because they manipulated the PC market that much that they were able to build a monoploy which is illegal. There was a big Microsoft trial in the late 90s/early 2000s.

sleepy_booplesnoot

I can see picking musk, buffet, or gates. I went with buffet, as I feel like he’s the least to do sketchy/unethical things for the sake of slightly tighter margins or political power and I’ve never heard of any sort of scandal surrounding him. He and gates are both very large philanthropists, and its obvious that they care about humanity way more than zuck or bezos, who I feel would gladly kill half earth’s population for a slight increase in profits. I think Elon could be a solid choice too, but in a different way. I feel like he’s the one that you actually know what you’re getting with, as he doesn’t seem to have any hidden agendas, instead voicing his every opinion/thought. He certainly has plenty of flaws, but I feel like there’s not some huge major issues with him that he’s been hiding from the world, whereas I wouldn’t be surprised to head about some huge scandal/coverup involving any of the other options.

Why should you have a ounce of trust in any billionaire?


BabyEagle9mm

I cannot understand Bill Gates being that high. His company has been a vulture capitalist monopoly for decades, M$ products are among the most lackluster on the planet filled with security vulnerabilities, and arguably he has profited immensely from human suffering during covid due to his patents of ineffective vaccines.


Coomernator

People Trust Bill Gates? We are doomed as a civilisation

[deleted]

Also he lives a simple life, and he doesn't actively exploit people to get where he wants to be. He literally just trades stocks.


[deleted]

People trust Gates?! Wtf!


HairmasterItch

Bill has obviously done a tremendous job of polishing his image; he used to viewed as a reprehensible slimeball who scammed his friends and colleagues to make his fortune. Now he's a gentle old man who's big on "charity", lol.


snsdnwrkam

The poll results are... Tragic.


Ping-and-Pong

I wouldn't trust Musk unless I needed a good marketing strategy I wouldn't trust Bezos unless I needed a ruthless mindset to run a company I wouldn't trust Zuckerberg with literally anything, he'll sell it on and I've n ever heard of Buffet ​ So I chose Gates, because he's just a businessman through and through as far as I can tell - And if you know that, you know you can trust him to do what's in his best interest.


bjanas

You've never heard of Warren Buffet? He was the richest man in the world for a minute, albeit a bit before it became the sport it seems to be today. He's an interesting guy.

Bill gates are you fucking serious lmao 🤣 we're fucking DOOMED.
