It's not the narrative that changed, its the content happening at the WEF that's changing. 10 years ago the big ideas were pushing Corporate Social Responsibility to show how ethical companies are. 20 years ago it was pushing free trade and open markets. Today they are looking at sustainability and equality.
Generally over the past 7-10 years the WEF has shifted from supporting and enhancing Neoliberal policies, to basically calling them out for the failure that they have been for a majority of workers. Since Reagan turned Conservatism into Neoliberalism, this change at the WEF has not gone over well with modern Conservatives, hence the need to attack them now.
So we will be finding a lot of Conservatives who supported the organization 10 years ago and now call them global elites.
