Elon Musk is the far-and-away most admired leader in technology. 10 We asked founders to write in which current tech leader they admire the most and we got 611 different names back. Sounds like there wouldn't be consensus, but a full 22% — nearly a quarter of respondents! — said Elon. The next most popular CEO was Jeff Bezos, with 7.5% of the vote. Mark Zuckerberg got 3.3% and Larry Page 2.6%. Sheryl Sandberg was the most popular woman submitted with only 0.7% of the vote.
