The only oligarch on the platform who was all in for owning government was Musk. The others were there for symbolic support, but none of them are giving this administration anything but money. It's Musk who's being the bad guy; and we'll find out if the others on that platform let him. We should know that the other MAGA founders were usually against Musk's ideas. How do I know? Because I've read 11 books on AI and am familiar with those guys on the platform.
The very best book, and a real page turner, on the history of AI and the best of Silicon Valley minds is this. Read it and you'll learn reasons for knowing who the good guys and bad guys are in Silicon Valley. Elon Musk and Peter Thiel are. The rest are idealists who want futures for their children on Earth, not Mars.
