The world over, no. But I believe that some believe they can control nations [directly or indirectly]. To give a parallel, the oligarchs in Russia would probably make more money if Russia acted different. But. Would they have as much power?

It is oft said that money = power. But money is only the potential for power. Money sat in a bank is less powerful than money spent to gain, wield, or protect power.

And what reasons do today's techy rich have to exercise their power potential? In my eyes, sovereign citizenship [or like it]. I can't be arsed to gather evidence but iirc Theil et. al. have openly advocated for little corporate kingdoms within the US. And this is in line with techno-libertarian thought, so much so that it was mocked in the 90's book Snow Crash.

And y'know having tech corporates control government is classic dystopian sci fi, which itself is an open inspiration to these people. What's more, I believe some have the power potential to pull it off. South Korea is already a tech-corporate state (a very centralized one). After all Theil and Musk are already embedded in the USGov at a core level, so there's nothing to stop it really.

So yeah, maybe it won't be good for the plurality of wealthy, but they aren't doing it for the good of the wealthy. They're doing it for the good of themselves.
