I argue this already happened. Facebook Inc (therefore Zuck personally) in 2015 effectively wielded total control of the world. Adjusting weights in ML systems there could determine who would be President of the United States. Only when that power became clear to the common man, and to Congress, did any effort to rein it in take place. That fear is why their Stablecoin effort was completely destroyed by the US Government. Too much power concentration. It's why Jack Ma was pulled away to some black site and presumably beaten with reeds for a few months.

Effective and manifested power cannot be reined in. A power that is reined in is only as powerful as its reined in form. Most likely, there wasn't any power to start with and it's just a stupid conspiracy theory... You can imagine yourself or your tribe or your political party to have absolute power. You can imagine Big Brother, or the Illuminati, or the Teletubbies to have power... It's not True! Today, nobody has absolute power! Let's hope we can either keep it that way or share power amongst ourselves.
