What you're saying is that there will be one corporation, the elite being the corporate stockholders. Socialism for the rich.
To think that there will be a series of corporations working together is deny the human instincts that drove men to form corporations in the first place: the need to dominate others. Or as Bruce Springsteen put it, "Poor man wanna be rich, rich man wanna be king, king ain't satisfied till he owns everything."
As long as you have two corporate entities they're going to compete with each other. That's what they do. That's their raison d'etre. They aren't here to do God's work, they're here to do corporate work. Which is naturally expansionist. It's about lying and cheating and destroying and justifying such behavior by pointing to profits
But this natural instinct of corporations to dominate, to dominate each other, also provides you a pretext for empowering the proles to revolt. Simply, one of the corporations helps them thinking that is the way to destroy the other corporation.
What that coporation doesn't realize is that the other corporation is empowering the underclass also. So the underclass end up with twice as many weapons as either corporation thinks they have.
Anyway, I'm just having fun.
