Oligarchs have always been a threat, but tech oligarchs represent a new level of danger.
Their wealth dwarfs historical tycoons and their control over algorithms allows them to curate human reality.

We stopped having tycoons and started having “founders”. Society is poorer for it.

this would be yet another reason why normal people don’t trust tech tycoons to do the right thing
David Heinemeier Hansson called for the extermination of Romani people, comparing them to animals. An entire roster of tech tycoons responded by each personally giving him $1 million for his open source software project, even though he’s already wealthy enough to have a personal race car team.

Khanna: You’ve got the DOJ releasing the names of survivors—which they are not allowed to do by law—but not releasing the FBI interview files with those same survivors. Those FBI interviews contain the names of other men: Wall Street tycoons and politicians…

National borders kill people on either side at exorbitant rates; they are a cruel luxury of kings and tycoons that the human beings of earth can no longer afford.
"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

Trump goes to China, brings the heaviest of heavy hitting business tycoons, only to be warned by PM Xi that China is the emerging power and America is on the decline…

These modern day billionaire oligarchs should try being more like the wealthy industry tycoons of the past (dead).

This is, not coincidentally, exactly how billionaire tech tycoons talk about the impacts of their choices. Points on the board.
A lot of people are shocked by the “points on the board” phrase - as was I - but it was also shocking how common I heard this and other game-type metaphors.
Many who are deeply disconnected from the harm do view and talk about it privately as a kind of sport. It is gross 🤢

Best bet for Europe is to continue threatening the Silicon Valley tycoons and broligarchs with economic boycotts.
Go after the money. Hurt their bottom line.
The only thing that might avert war.
These people still prefer the color green over white.

Most tech tycoons are in fact evil and they do in fact want to hurt you, me, and every other decent person.

It’s worse than this. Having been in the room with many of them (long ago, before I knew they were psychopaths), the tycoons who are left running the industry have an active contempt for ordinary people, including their own workers. They actively want to oppress, control and punish them.
Tech execs do not have, like, a theory of mind for people who aren’t tech execs. If they did, they wouldn’t be so frequently baffled by how repulsive normal people think their whole deal is right now

I would like media to care more about the reality that tech tycoons want to kill people than what they’re imagining about AI wanting to kill people. We have multi-millionaires (with support from billionaires!) calling for ethnic cleansing, a thing that has happened in living memory. Not theoretical!

Say what you will about William Randolph Hearst, he at least undermined editorial independence with a little more subtlety than these modern tycoons.
