Microsoft Hosted Sting Performance in Davos on Night Before Announcing Layoffs

Here’s how I think about it:

Davos is a religious gathering. You wouldn’t be happy/unhappy about other religious gatherings that you don’t participate in.

The elites really don’t have any control or vision over what’s going to happen, just like shamans and religious leaders of the past did not

How do 52 heads of state and 600+ CEOs of the world's largest companies not have "any control or vision of what's going to happen?"

Because the WEF is not controlled by 52 heads of state of 600+ CEOs. It's controlled by Klaus Schwab, a managing board and an executive committee: https://www.weforum.org/about/leadership-and-governance

10 people sit on the managing board, none of them household names: Børge Brende, Mirek Dušek, Julien Gattoni, Jeremy Jurgens, Adrian Monck, Sarita Nayyar, Gim Huay Neo, Olivier M. Schwab, Saadia Zahidi, and Alois Zwinggi.

I don't think he meant control of how the WEF operates but of the world economy.

> elites really don’t have any control or vision over what’s going to happen,

Is this satire, blindness, or just youthful optimism?
