Seeing as many of them site dystopian sci-fi novels as their inspiration you're probably not far off.

I mean, in an Oligarchy, you need powerful oligarchs. We no longer have any semblance of being a democracy, possible haven't for a while.

In a way it's only power that we're giving them. Stop using Facebook, Twitter, stop buying teslas and shopping on Amazon and these people become slowly irrelevant when the companies do bad at earnings
We've never known a country where the wealthy had this much capability. Owning just one of Facebook, Amazon, Palantir, X, etc makes a person incredibly powerful, but the fact that they've all seemingly combined forces makes me think we are in for an era that makes Cyberpunk novels look like a Disney flick.
