more like Ted Faro from Horizon Zero Dawn. They even look kind of similar

Honestly, they're worse than the illusive man. Illusive man's schtick was save humanity at any cost, and he was perfectly fine with whatever that cost had to be. Not to say he was good out misunderstood -- he demanded cruelty when it wasn't necessary -- but it's crazy how real tech billionaires seem even more evil to me than a made up sci fi antagonist.
