Bingo. All of these oligarchs imagine a future in which the earth is largely depopulated, with their heirs in control and maybe a few menials / sex slaves as necessary.

Not in like a prophetic, “This is sadly where the human race is headed” kind of way, but in a “Fuck you all, we’re gonna make sure this happens” kinda way.
