AI: The Turbo Tool Of The Super-Rich For Maintaining Profit And Power

08.08.2026 | www.kla.tv/42178

The Swiss radio and television station SRF1 reported on January 19, 2026: “The wealth of the world’s super-rich has never grown as fast as it did last year.” According to the latest Oxfam report, in numerical terms, this translates into a $2.5 trillion increase in wealth over the past year and total wealth of more than $18 trillion. "Since 2020, billionaires have become more than 80% richer. [...] The twelve richest people in the world now have more money than the poorer half of the world's population – that is, a good four billion people." If you take a closer look at how this immense growth in wealth came about, you inevitably come across the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence, which is time and again sold to us as progress. It certainly means progress, but only for the wallets of the super-rich, while all of humanity is being steered toward a new, unprecedented crisis of “digital enslavement.” This broadcast explores the background of the issue and reveals who the major beneficiaries of AI are. Elon Musk – the first trillionaire in history Tech billionaire Elon Musk, a shareholder in Tesla, the news service X, xAI, SpaceX, and Neuralink, among others, is stepping up his AI initiatives. A new round of funding for his company, xAI, raised billions of U.S. dollars and is expected to advance his planned supercomputer. He wants to develop X into an “Everything App” that will combine communication, finance, and AI. Through SpaceX, he is focusing on reusable missiles, and through Neuralink on so-called brain-computer interfaces, with the aim of connecting humans and machines - in the spirit of the transhumanists. Elon Musk's wealth is based primarily on his equity stakes in Tesla and SpaceX, as well as on stock options and the appreciation of those stakes. According to the business magazine “Forbes,” his wealth was estimated at $195 billion as of April 2024. By June 2026, he had become the first trillionaire in history, with a fortune of over 1,000 billion U.S. dollars. Investments in AI are causing Mark Zuckerberg’s wealth to skyrocket Mark Zuckerberg is the founder of the world's largest social media company, which includes Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, Threads, Messenger, and Meta Quest, among others. Since 2021, the company has been known as Meta Platforms. Workplace was discontinued in May 2026. Zuckerberg owns approximately 13% of Meta’s shares, and his wealth increased by an estimated $20 billion between January 2025 and March 2026. This increase in value is primarily attributable to the rise in Meta's stock price due to massive investments in AI. So, with the Meta Group, the Facebook founder is relying heavily on artificial intelligence. His vision is to develop a “personal superintelligence” for every human. So-called AI agents, which can perform tasks autonomously, are designed to identify users’ goals and work "day and night" to achieve them. Zuckerberg praises Meta’s use of AI, which alone in the first quarter of 2025 encouraged 1,234,321 users to spend five to six percent more time on Facebook and Instagram. This shows just how much people are being influenced and driven into an ever-deepening addiction. People are already totally dependent on their smartphones. How much more would they rely on a personal AI friend? Larry Ellison: $100 billion in profits from AI Larry Ellison is the chairman and co-founder of the software giant Oracle, of which he owns about 40%. Ellison also owns nearly 50% of the media giant Paramount Skydance and has taken control of TikTok. In February 2026, his wealth was estimated at 222.7 billion U.S. dollars – approximately 100 billion U.S. dollars more than in November 2024. His company, Oracle, provides AI firms with computing power worth a staggering 455 billion U.S. dollars and operates several data centers of its own equipped with thousands of rare graphics chips. Oracle also has a contract with OpenAI for the next five years. In addition, Oracle and Ellison are playing a key role in Stargate, a massive U.S. infrastructure project aimed at expanding AI data centers. You don’t have to be a clairvoyant to predict that Ellison’s fortune will continue to grow in the coming years. Amazon Cloud & AI Research – Billions in Profits for Jeff Bezos In December 2025, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos was the fourth-richest person in the world, with a net worth of $239.4 billion. As of early April 2024, he owned 1,234,321,194 billion U.S. dollars. The growth of his wealth is primarily attributable to massive investments in cloud infrastructure and AI applications. As a result, the trading volume of Amazon shares rose to $51.24 billion in 2025 alone. That represents a 26% increase over the previous year. With data centers around the world, Amazon Web Services (AWS) operates the most extensive global cloud infrastructure. It's not just large companies that use this service. Secret services also use the cloud to leverage data analysis and artificial intelligence for espionage. Amazon has announced that it will invest approximately $200 billion in artificial intelligence, cloud computing, robotics, and satellites by 2026. As a result, Jeff Bezos is positioning Amazon as the indispensable backbone of the global AI revolution – or, to put it more accurately, as a global player in the worldwide digital enslavement. Summary so far: Tech billionaires are investing massive sums in artificial intelligence and reaping enormous profits as a result, while the general public is becoming poorer. However, the general public is not entirely blameless in this decline, as many people use AI – often out of convenience – and thereby render themselves redundant. The development of a global digital infrastructure is driving people into a state of constant surveillance and dependence, the consequences of which are still completely unpredictable. But what is the solution? What should be done? For one thing, it is important to bring all kinds of AI crisis profiteers into the global spotlight. That's what "Vetopedia" is for – the free encyclopedia of dissenting opinions! Under “Crisis Profits,” you’ll find numerous facts that demonstrate how the puppet masters behind world events have reaped huge profits from all the crises of recent years. Crises do not just happen by chance; rather, they are deliberately orchestrated and exploited by those seeking to profit from them. That is exactly what the global public needs to be made aware of. You, too, can help in this effort to expose such practices by reporting any unjust crisis profits you become aware of at www.vetopedia.org under the “Crisis Profits” section and by spreading the word about “Vetopedia.” Thank you very much!
