I think rather than Schumpeterian creative destruction resulting in the end of "capitalism" it will simply be the same all powerful 1%ters with a new upper class..

of course we don't really have a true free capitalist system... this is the fiction, otherwise banks would have been allowed to fail as they should have.

Basically the 5 billion will elect the Trumps.

The 1 Billion in Zuckerworld will have no idea why the Trumps are getting elected and what the hell they are trying to do their lovely VR worlds.

Zuckerberg will then step in and propose to build a wall to protect the 1 Billion, as long as they hand him over another 50 Billion to keep the world "open and connected".

The 5 Billion then get pissed. Guillotines get erected. Trump does his Robespierre bit. Zuckerberg does his world conquering Napolean bit. But at the end of the day France survives. And is better for it.
