While it's certainly possible that the World Economic Forum could push policies that primarily benefit their wealthy and connected members, it's important to note that such actions would likely face significant pushback from the broader public and other stakeholders. Additionally, the forum has made efforts in recent years to focus more on issues like climate change and social inequality, which suggests that they are at least aware of the need to be more inclusive and responsible in their policymaking. That being said, it's always important to stay vigilant and hold organizations like the WEF accountable for their actions.

There are a few ways that common people can hold the World Economic Forum accountable for their actions. One way is to stay informed about the issues and policies that the forum is promoting, and to engage in public discourse and advocacy to ensure that the interests of ordinary people are being represented. Another way is to pressure policymakers and elected officials to be more transparent about their interactions with the WEF, and to demand that they prioritize the public interest over the interests of wealthy and powerful elites.

It's true that the WEF's lack of transparency can make it difficult for the public to hold them accountable, but there are still opportunities for engagement and advocacy. For example, the forum hosts an annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland, which has become a focal point for protests and demonstrations by activists and civil society groups. Additionally, the WEF has launched initiatives aimed at promoting more inclusive and sustainable economic policies, which suggests that they are at least somewhat responsive to public pressure.
