what leadership? what examples of his leadership have been visible to the outside world? as far as I can tell, his entire career was:

1. failed startup 1. YC staff member 1. very creepy cryptocurrency grifter 1. openai ceo

where has he demonstrated such enormous value?

what observable value has he displayed?

he's just the ceo, he's not designing or implementing products, and I don't think I've ever even seen him say anything particularly insightful in public.

can you link me to something particularly impressive?

I must be missing something based on the huge amount of praise people heap on him, but no one ever seems to elaborate on why.

In the last day this site has been all about him. That goes to tell you the mindshare he commands. This was a major victory orchestrated by Satya.

I don't know what you mean? having lots of HN posts about you doesn't show leadership, it at most shows fanboyism amongst HN posters.

That just means he is popular in HN, doesn't say much more than that in regards to leadership, etc.

Being popular doesn't mean someone is efficient, or even has any merits apart from being able to become popular (Kardashians come to mind).
