They are not feudal lords. They dont have real power. Just cash. Like Elon. Dont confuse the two. We already saw what happened to Elon or Jack Ma when they took on real power. This cycle is ancient. When trade routes opened up traders got richer than Kings. Overnight. And it went to their head that everyone cares about what they think. Kings have to pay and maintain armies to hold on to their throne. Lots of very different groups have to be kept happy to pull that off. Every time in history they got carried away they learned the hard way people are not going to fight and die for Alex Karp or to preserve anything that comes out of his 3 inch chimp brain. Cash only influences power upto a point. Beyond that point its about how many people are willing to die for you.
