I’ll argue that calling them unintelligent dismisses their capacity for harm.
CEOs tend to be intelligent, cold and calculated. They will take whatever decision it takes to maximize profit, with complete disregard for human life. Even when they seemingly echo conspiracy theories, they generally do it with the end goal of increasing profits by pushing some narrative, for example.
We need to understand that they know exactly what they are doing, and that they and their companies need to be controlled using legislation.

Really? Do you have to be an idiot to be CEO?

Studies show that sociopaths and psychopaths are better fits for CEO roles.
If you look at it from a strictly financial angle, Patrick Collison would get really wealthy from a US annexation of Canada as his company would get access to the very lucrative and deregulated US market.
You need to have zero conscience to take the best strictly financial decisions for a company, with no regard for suffering or human life.
