Source: I recently attended a WEF meeting in Washington DC. There were no politicians present. There were reps from the US DOE who told us a lot about IRA, which was very helpful, then the WEF crew tried to convince us to sign up for an initiative. The initiatives are just you promising you're going to do something with 0 consequences for not doing it.
It's like a marketing piece. As someone earlier pointed out their ESG criteria are largely lipstick on a pig style. BUT we can all collectively say that we're working on together

Its essentially a Lobbying group that poses as the World's 'Think Tank.'
They're an unelected, pretentious and self-aggrandized lobbying group and I'm unaware of how much influence they actually have.
But aside from that I dont know how shadowy and sinister they actually are, and I generally dont care. I just dont think about them that much.
We should get the WEF and the WE guys to fight it out in the ring. Fight out 'what' you may ask? I dont know. Ownership of the 'F?'
