I read it more like they'd go to Bill Gates saying "We think you're the best man for this job, all these people agree, will you take the reins for a year" and if he accepted it'd be because he cares about MS, etc.

#4Microsoft should seriously consider hiring Elon Musk or a famous, Googler, Eric Schmidt, Sergey Brin, or Larry Page, though the googlers might not pass anti-trust investigations. The need a PR makeover, and Google and Tesla are the best brands in tech.
Another choice, PG. It would be refreshing to genuine tech talent at the top instead of another career climber. PG could turn Microsoft into a giant startup factory and literally explode the market cap to trillions. Microsoft investors need to seriously consider this option.

Has that ever been Microsoft's goal?

There's absolutely no incentive MS can offer any of the named people to work for them. So I'm not sure if you're joking, or...?

Totally serious. Much of Apple's meteoric rise in the 2000s was because of the Steve Jobs brand, and Apple 2000s is the success you want to copy.
All the above listed are the biggest names in tech today. There are others, Gates, Ellison, Zuckerburg, but I don't consider them as talented as the ones I listed.

It wasn't clear, until the trillions part.
