The way I read this article it's an old guard of elite trying to warn you about the new guard of elite. The Guardian is bitter that real news does now flow through mainstream publications like theirs anymore, and they and their ilk are relegated to publishing sponsored opinion pieces. And then they accuse Facebook of the same, but at least on Facebook you can still find a variety of different sponsored opinions instead of just one.
At the end of the day, it's almost tautological that you wouldn't want to have any elite at all determining the future, because they won't have your best interests in mind. Duh! But I don't think that is possible, at least not with the current maturity of our social institutions. And as max_ said, these "tech bros" are the only ones with a vision and building something.
