Seems billionaires are obsessed with both sci-fi and the middle ages, they want to fly to mars and also they want to have a wild-west era free lawless everything for them with no to little rights for others and having them as slaves.
Thech billionaires seem to either want tech feudalism, where obviously they are the feudal lords, or go straight to oligarchy. Feudalism has the added benefit of higher, perceived legitamicy of the rulong class, and the resulting stability makes the rulers' lives so much easier.
