This was never idealism, it was much more about gaslighting. Billionaire investors have a playbook where they say something to gaslight people into agreeing with them, and then go to the opposite direction. It is already a pattern. For example, most companies would swear they were decided on cutting carbon emissions, just to forget everything when it comes to build data centers. They say some technology is just for the growth of mankind when in fact they're looking for monopoly and destroying jobs. They say they're donating money for "charity" when they're in fact investing in technologies that they have vested financial interest. They say we need to contribute to a not-for-profit institution which will later be used to create another monopoly. It is so predictable that I wonder why anyone can still be fooled by this.
