If AGI can do everything and a few own the AGI, then they have that power.

Even now the machine owners have enough power to change laws to their liking, bending governments and public opinion to their will.

Unless AGI has actual god-like powers, the owners don't have that power. Governments' and public opinion can change and are not so easy to control as you make it out to be. Is, for example, the EU AI Act or the GDPR the will of the machine owners?

The odd thing is that after the pandemic just showed what societies can enforce, somehow it all is forgotten again when it comes to who holds what power.
