I hear what you're saying, that at a certain level of wealth the power hierarchy becomes about seniority, and I don't know that it's wrong, but I'm not sure what reason there is to believe it either. Certainly people like elon musk are not all powerful, but what does that really say about the state of things when it would be hard to point to anyone who gets everything they want on a level beyond that?

    i don't get what your argument is. that we don't objectively know who the people above elon musk are, so therefore they must not exist?

    what DOES that say about the state of things? you tell me

    Not a lot, as far as I can tell? I'm more expressing doubt than making an argument. You are claiming you know they do exist and what defines them, but I don't see reasons to be confident about that.
