Once a fully-automated economy comes to fruition (or at least the perception of one), billionaires think they are the only individuals enlightened and valuable enough to be worthy of its boons. Once they no longer need our labor or our consumption, we are just chaff.
Power is no fun without someone to wield it over.
They need resistance to feel powerful. God mode is boring.
Imagine killing off the poor essentially making the billionaires middle class.
