The Davos type elites (the “0.1%) love globalism because it means nation states go away and they become the new rulers who aren’t inconvenienced by anything like national trade policy.
In order to achieve this they do everything possible to cause convergence (political science concept) at every opportunity, no matter what the economic or social/cultural/legal consequences for the average person. The US pulls convergence from CCP China but doesn’t push convergence to the CCP due to their absolute authoritarian nature.
In any case they’ve been pushing the “progressive” ideology so hard that they’ve now created a populist backlash that they’re increasingly terrified of and taking increasingly desperate measures to crush.
To me, their main motive is not necessarily nation states going away. Even with a true authoritarian global government, you'd still want to have distinct management zones just for for the sake of making administration of a giant bureaucracy possible. Whether you call these administration zones Canada/Niger/Pennsylvania/Seattle or District 12/District 953/District 48/District 146 isn't the truly important thing.
To me, the elites main motive is money/power, which comes from making people poor, but not so desperate that they rebel. And this is seemingly being accomplished by many steps including burdening the West with a flood of invaders and lately Covid lockdowns that are harming the economy to a far greater level than they're helping fight transmissible disease.

They’re acting like there wouldn’t be any real problem at all if the uniparty in the US becomes just like the CCP, but what about 0.1% guy Jack Ma who has disappeared? https://www.breitbart.com/asia/2021/01/04/chinese-billionaire-jack-ma-disappears-criticizing-communist-party/ Maybe they should rethink things a bit.
