Sure, it needs some love and there were some abstractions. For instance it assumed we had a labeled dataset for the text and the associated sentiment, but beyond that it worked fine.
I see the point you're driving at but the democratic institution of the US has explicit guard rails against this. We force presidents to step down because we _know_ that voluntary relinquishing of power is unlikely.
I do see money as a proxy for power. If you make enough of it you can influence public opinion, enrich or destroy education, buy twitter, etc.

I'd be interested in seeing this compared to other non-tech job postings. I'd expect the trends wouldn't match entirely but that software development jobs are still in higher demand.
