"The power to set agendas is the most potent way to direct debates." Yes! I see this show up in so many ways in my workplace. People only talk about the options that are suggested, either by leaders or others, and too seldom do they step back to ask, "you know, what are we REALLY trying to solve here, and are there any other ways to go about it than the two or three we're currently thinking of?" The higher the leader, the greater the unspoken social pressure to stay quiet and not ask these sorts of "disruptive" questions. More so than that though, I think it takes a lot of mental work, effort, and TIME to step back. Often, it's easier to just go with an option already spinning as a flywheel, even if it's not the best (for instance, Threads or X).

Read. Good article, I agree with most if it. Still, I choose Musk over Zuck. In line with your billionaire commentary, if anyone asks why gender/trans ideology has taken over, see: Family, Pritzker. This is no bottom-up movement. Playing out exactly as you described.
