Of the four I'll take Bezos. Elon says controversial stuff but most of his businesses are legit. He owns Twitter now but he didn't create that monster. Altman opened up a can of worms with AI but I do believe he initially had some good intentions with it. I don't even know who Peter Thiel is. Bezos is just an evil corporate suit and Amazon will do anything for money.

Thiel is associated with musk, and a pretty awful guy in his own right. The short version is he's a billionaire techno-fascist that funds political campaigns for people like Trump. Here's a video for more stuff about him if you're curious.

Bezos isn't even involved in Amazon anymore.
