"If Google had representatives at Davos, they know what's planned."

I believe it reasonable to expect that Google has representatives at Davos, and they do know what is planned.

Plans do not usually work out quite as expected. So, it would be also correct to say that "Google does not know what's coming exactly". They really do not know - exactly.

Sorry, while the Davos set like to think that they have the future well planned. Nobody does. Carl von Clauswitz, a Prussian philosopher of war who witnessed and survived the chaotic 20+ year period of the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars, noted that international relations, specifically war, are shaped by three interactive forces: rational policy decisions, peoples emotions, and random chance (unpredictable events like weather that are out of the control of nations / individuals).

Plans are attempts to predict events with little to know hard facts, just a boatload of assumptions that planners try to confirm or deny over time.

President Eisenhower said it best:

"I tell this story to illustrate the truth of the statement I heard long ago in the Army: Plans are worthless, but planning is everything. There is a very great distinction because when you are planning for an emergency you must start with this one thing: the very definition of “emergency” is that it is unexpected, therefore it is not going to happen the way you are planning."

Outside our Lord, who doesn't share his planning very often, no one is in control.

The Davos set believes they have a well-planned future that is under their control. They are wrong on both counts. But they will not choose to change their beliefs, and they will act on them.

That is the most important point of all.

They are going to do stupid things that do not work, and they will keep doing them until they cannot do them anymore.

Google executives consider themselves part of the inner-circle decision makers. Another mistaken belief. But they are going to conceal the clever plans of the Davos bunch to the extent they are aware of them. And especially when the clever plans fail, they will conceal news of those failures.

The elites are unleashing monsters which they will not be able to control or put back in their cages. Most of all, Google is telling us they will conceal news of any such rampages to the extent that they are able.
