Unfortunately the answer is “because they are rich beyond comprehension and no regulation was put in place at the right time to avoid that“.

While money certainly gives them a bigger ability to influence the future than an ordinary bloke, it still doesn't mean they are able to just wish it true.
Elon failed his boring tunnel
Elon is failing his rocket ventures so much that he had to try to gut NASA so he remains competitive
Elon didn't achieve full self driving cars and is now sued, hopefully to oblivion, for the fatal car crashes his half baked tech created.
Zuck didnt achieve the Metaverse.
Zuck didn't achieve widespread VR adoption.
It's extremely funny to see these pitiful billionaires speak with confidence of a future they want and pour billions in, but then fail to achieve. Their failures are multiplied by how much money, resources, time and people they threw at the problem and still failed. Watching these men-chileren unravel in front of our very eyes is infinite comedy, we are talking going Nazi, getting drug addicted, going Bro?, MMA training, one can't make this stuff up, their actions read like made up satire in the Onion.
They are society's laughing stock, because despite all their vast resources they seemingly don't want to do anything good for society and instead prefer to race to see who can fly their pitiful rockets to Mars first or sell more crap to people who don't need it, or yet influence another election and elect the next Mussolini wannabe. Those guys are the ultimate clowns.
