Those 5 billionaire guys do want this- The french revolution probably wouldnt have happened the way it did if they had to deal with an army of terminator robots

But those guys aren’t cartoon villains. Supposing that they did just that, unleashing an army of Terminators to counter a revolution, and wiped out or imprisoned most of humanity. Uhh, what’s the game plan then? Having all the so-called “money” means very little if you obliterate the whole world’s economic system. Even having all the gold or all the chip fabs means very little when there’s no market for any of those things besides your security robot factories.

I think the billionaire class are deeply invested in the world continuing to exist in a reasonable state as opposed to a post-apocalyptic hellscape, and surely they must know this.
