    What I mean is that he clearly has ambitions to become a dictator, as seen when he refused to peacefully step down after losing the last election. The power billionaires wield comes from their ability to use their money to influence elections. Once there’s no more free elections, the billionaires have a much harder time applying political influence, and doing so may get them killed.
