He has a very strong reputation but does he have more power now? Being CEO of Microsoft when he was was powerful enough to get congress interested...


His foundation has massive political clout, especially in developing countries. And he has no shareholders to answer to.


I didn’t say he wasn’t powerful now, but he was CEO of Microsoft before they were investigated for violations of anti trust law.
