WSJ: We are living in the era of the "Empire CEO", where tech giants are increasingly resembling private kingdoms.

According to CoinMeta and OneMillion.AI, The Wall Street Journal has pointed out that tech giants such as Zuckerberg from Meta, Musk from SpaceX, and Dario Amodei from Anthropic are being compared to ancient monarchs, living in an era of "empires" CEO. These companies not only wield immense power but also function like kingdoms governed by the will of their founders, willing to invest billions of dollars in pursuit of futuristic technological visions. Zuckerberg once bet heavily on the metaverse, investing several billion dollars, and now he's betting on AI. In response to California's wealth tax, the board of directors for Meta designed shares without voting rights for him to maintain control. Musk has integrated rockets, Starlink, X, and Grok into the same business empire, which he still dominates even after going public. Anthropic allows seven founders to govern together with an independent trust, attempting to ensure that the company's AI safety approach is not influenced by short-term stock prices. Silicon Valley admires this "founder model," and investors are willing to pay for it; however, if the bet is successful, there can be astonishing returns, but if not, external shareholders may find it difficult to correct the course. The decisions of these tech giants affect the lives of more and more people. Who will restrain these "empires" CEO is no longer just a matter for shareholders.
