What kind of world are the Orange and his puppet master billionaires building?

Are we headed for slavery, extinction, the matrix or some other post apocalyptic future?

How do these despots think that food arrives?

At the moment it seems they're hell bent on global destruction.

Total Control. That's really what it's all about. They want to control the narrative, they want to control the markets, they want to control every little bit that there is left that hasn't been touched. What they want is a dystopia and they're gearing moreso into realizing that dystopia than they ever been.

Ever heard of Shadowrun? The TTRPG? That's what things are gearing towards, just take away the interesting and cool aspects from Shadowrun and you basically have reality right now as we know it.

I would have said the Cyberpunk TTRPG. Shadowrun was basically Cyberpunk with magic.

Cyberpunk even predicted this

Shadowrun or Eclipse Phase, either way it's not good. I'd like the tech from the latter, but not the rest of the setting.

It would be a whole lot cooler if we had actual dragons hoarding all this, as opposed to metaphorical ones.
