His own employees helped reinstate him, not the capital class which was actually the board that fired him.

The board that fired him wasn’t really “the capital class” in the traditional sense. It was a nonprofit board with an unusual governance structure specifically designed to limit investor controlling. Ilya and Helen were acting on safety/governance concerns, arguably against the interests of capital (Microsoft, VCs).

Like literally he’s doing right now the thing that would not have been done had Ilya and the other board members retained their positions

Not psychopaths. I recall it being rank and file who were concerned about their options or whatever. Greed is fundamental human behavior.
