See, your problem is you assume the 1% are intelligent. They are not. The attribute they have the most of is greed. Greed can blind even the intelligent, and most of them aren’t even playing with a full deck.
I think it’s more the assumption that things won’t change. Plenty of large, previously-succsssful businesses have collapsed because they did not keep a finger up to feel if the winds of change are shifting and instead doubled and quadrupled down on a no longer viable business model.

Yes, and that is a demonstration of how they are not actually inteligent.
Of course they’re intelligent. Lots of people are greedy but most of them aren’t greedy and rich.
Most of them are neither greedy nor smart - they were just lucky enough to be born into wealth.
Sorry, can’t relate to thinking Trump is intelligent.
And if Trump were the only part of the 1%, you might have a point.
The statement I replied to had no caveats.
It helps if you’re born rich too
