1. Imran Khan:
1.1 Profile:
As prime minister, Khan addressed a balance of payments crisis with bailouts from the IMF. He
presided over a shrinking current account deficit, and limited defence spending to curtail the fiscal
deficit, leading to some general economic growth. He enacted policies that increased tax collection
and investment as well as advocated for transforming Pakistan into a welfare state. His government
committed to a renewable energy transition, launched Ehsaas Programme and the Plant for
Pakistan initiative, and expanded
the protected areas of Pakistan. He presided
over the COVID-19 pandemic, which caused
economic turmoil and rising inflation in the
country, threatening his political position.
In early 2022, in what became known
as Lettergate, Khan alleged that the United
States encouraged his removal from office. In
April, during the ensuing constitutional crisis,
Khan became the first Pakistani prime minister BY to
be removed from office through a no-confidence motion. In August, he was charged under anti-
terror laws after accusing the police and judiciary of detaining and torturing an aide. In October,
Khan was disqualified by the Election Commission of Pakistan from taking office for the current
term of the National Assembly of Pakistan, regarding the Toshakhana reference case. In
November, he survived an assassination attempt during a political rally in Wazirabad, Punjab

Since 1987, Gates has been included in the Forbes list of the world's top billionaires. From 1995 to
2017, he held the title of the wealthiest person in the world every year except in 2008 and from
2010 to 2013. In 1999, he became the first ever centibillionaire when his net worth briefly surpassed
US$100 billion. Since leaving day-to-day operations at Microsoft in 2008, Gates has pursued other
business and philanthropic endeavors.
2.2 Background:
William Henry Gates III (born October 28, 1955) is an American businessman and philanthropist best
known for his roles at Microsoft Corporation. He co-founded the software company with his
childhood friend Paul Allen and later held the positions of chairman, chief executive officer (CEO),
president, and chief software architect. He was also being its largest individual shareholder until
May 2014.[a] He was a pioneer of the microcomputer revolution of the 1970s and 1980s.
Gates was born and raised in Seattle, Washington. In 1975, he and Allen founded Microsoft
in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Gates led the company as its chairman and chief executive officer
until stepping down as CEO in January 2000, succeeded by Steve Ballmer, but he remained
chairman of the board of directors and became chief software architect. During the late 1990s, he
was criticized for his business tactics, which were considered anti-competitive.
3. Elon Musk
3.1 Profile:
In 2004, Musk was an early investor in electric-vehicle manufacturer Tesla Motors, Inc. (later Tesla,
Inc.), providing most of the initial
financing and assuming the position
of the company's chairman. He later
became the product architect and, in
2008, the CEO. In 2006, Musk helped
create SolarCity, a solar energy
company that was acquired by Tesla
in 2016 and became Tesla Energy.
In 2013, he proposed
a hyperloop high-
speed vactrain transportation
system. In 2015, he co-founded
OpenAI, a nonprofit artificial
intelligence research company. The
following year Musk co-founded This Photo by Unknown Author is licensed under CC BY-SA
Neuralink, a neurotechnology company developing brain–computer interfaces, and The Boring
Company, a tunnel construction company. In 2018 the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC) sued Musk, alleging that he had falsely announced that he had secured funding
for a private takeover of Tesla. To settle the case Musk stepped down as the chairman of Tesla and
paid a $20 million fine. In 2022, he acquired Twitter for $44 billion, merged the company into the
newly-created X Corp. and rebranded the service as X the following year. In March 2023, Musk
founded xAI, an artificial-intelligence company.
Musk's actions and expressed views have made him a polarizing figure. He has been criticized for
making unscientific and misleading statements, including COVID-19 misinformation, promoting
right-wing conspiracy theories, and endorsing an antisemitic trope; he has since apologized for
the latter. His ownership of Twitter has been controversial because of the layoffs of large numbers
of employees, an increase in hate speech, misinformation and disinformation posts on the
website, and changes to website features, including verification.
