Once you realise that they all think we have less than 10 years to the total collapse of civilisation, everything they do makes sense.

    How does it make any sense whatsoever? Musk, Bezos, Zuck, etc already have more money than they can spend even if they were all to live a full life. Helping bring on the collapse of civilization would just reduce their power and control over us.

    If you’re saying that they believe it will collapse regardless of what they do, then they’d probably behave more like Gabe Newell and live their life by hopping from one yacht to another somewhere out in the ocean.

      I think they are the ones in charge of making sure the divide and conquer game is played through till the end. Ensure we keep downvoting each other at first, and later killing each other is their highest and most cost effective way of managing an 8 billion large size of violent cattle.

    Only because they think they’re special enough to make it out unscathed. Just a matter of time, and nature excels in using time to her benefit.

    It’s easy to be right when you’re have the power, will and utter lack of morals to do anything to ensure reality conforms to your predictions.

    Pity they didn’t “predict” a post-scarcity society freed from unnecessary suffering. Imagine what those assholes might have achieved then.

    Collapse of civilization would render their wealth meaningless unless they’ve stockpiled megatons of supplies.

      I dunno about the others but I heard Zuck was building some kind of Bond-villainesque volcano super-base. Presumably he’s going to put a lot of his stockpiles there.

      Yes, but up and till that point, they would want to make sure we point guns at each other instead of rolling out the guillotines for them.
