I would say state actors, not billionaires have access to tools (TikTok) that are used to disrupt the fabric of Western societies. There is a reason why some social media tools are banned in China, and Iran - because they are actively used for psychological warfare (by China, Iran). Despite the article talking about China as well, it's just a cross-pollination of ideas across continents(they are getting the taste of their own poison).
I used to believe this is all tinfoil wackos ideas, but the last 6 months opened my eyes.
