Executives of all the largest companies operate in a very incestuous manner. They all go to the same conferences, they all sit on each other's boards, they went to the same high school together, grew up together, live in the same neighborhoods, get invited to the same dinner parties, etc...
Many people here know about the WEF and Klaus Scwab because of his prominence during covid-19 and the push for "globalism" but what many don't understand is just the extent organizations like WEF go in pushing their agendas and just how many of these organizations there are. It's not a conspiracy but a member of the Rothschilds will put on a conference and invite executives from the top 100 largest companies, at the conference they'll discuss all the "happenings" around the world and how to solve "global challenges". Then they'll have their selected speakers, men like Yuval Harari who'll come up and speak about a global issue. Of course, all the speakers are selected ahead of time specifically because it is already known they are going to say exactly what those who select the speakers want them to say. A specific agenda.
When executives are all at these fancy parties, they chat among one another and what's one thing no executive wants to be? No executive wants to be regarded as the black sheep, or less intelligent or anything like that. They all want to be well-liked and respected by everyone else in the group. That how they can grow their own image and the image of their organization among supposedly other prominent people so the executives start agreeing with everything that has been said even if they don't truly agree with it because who are they to question such renown speakers, etc...
Eventually, you start to get a consensus among all executives on these issues because among all the fancy dinner parties, conferences and events they go to, it seems like everyone is saying the exact same thing. In this way, the values and beliefs of "the elite" becomes a consensus. Now these executives and board members start to only hire people who share a similar vision to everyone else. Anyone who might disagree with their vision isn't part of the club.
Furthermore, the capture of corporations wasn't only done at the executive level but also from the bottom up. These rich and prominent people who rub shoulders with executives of big companies also invested significant amounts of money into Human Resources at the academic level and incorporated their values/beliefs into the HR process such that all new HR graduates believe that these values/beliefs are integral to a healthy corporate culture and therefore they start to only hire people at the bottom who fit the same values/beliefs as everyone else. In this manner, it becomes incredibly difficult for anyone with different beliefs to make it far in the corporate world.
Finally, as a last added pressure: ESG Investing. If being part of the consensus wasn't enough for executives, there's now a monetary incentive to be part of this consensus because by advocating for a specific value system, companies like Blackrock and Vanguard will overweight their corporation in indexes which will increase the demand for their shares and therefore increase share price. Even if executives disagreed with the values, it wouldn't make sense from a shareholder value perspective to ignore these values.
Now, until Trump, the Democrats and Republicans were on the exact same page. You would have noticed corporations were a lot more 50/50 back on those days. These days, the "MAGA" types of hijacked the republican party and now many of the values out of the republican camp don't align with the corporate consensus values. It's the democrats that do. Even if some of the executives are smart enough to figure out the values the democrats stand for aren't very good over the long-term most don't care enough to go against it. Executives just want to earn their salary and call it a day. The richest people see themselves as insolated from all the problems facing average people and therefore they don't care to fix the problems. They just want to do whatever is going to ruffle the least amount of feathers so they can collect their paycheck and go home.

We may be also seeing some good old fashioned corporate looting. Ford's CEO has increased his own compensation by 90% from just 2020 even as the company loses $30k on each EV it sells... which is the tech they've supposedly committed to.
