The link you shared is just a podcast and does not contain even contain “far right”. Can you provide specific concerns, otherwise I don’t see anything wrong with a CEO of the most successful tech company should not be concerned about a horribly performing country from a GDP perspective.
The problem he was reacting to (local decisions dominated by people with locked-in benefits and low future exposure) is real. His idea there is silly but I think treating a couple of provocative X replies as some far right agenda is its own kind of overreach.

So like, idk, people over 60yrs old voting against climate action? Or maybe people making over $500k/year voting against a social safety net?
Those seem like far more consequential groups exerting influence than the very poor (who as a demographic don’t actually vote much anyway).
But anyway, whatever group you’re talking about disenfranchising, the fact that you’re talking about disenfranchising anybody makes you an enemy of democracy.
I included a link to a podcast because that's a good high level overview of the topic. If you want to dig into it further, the podcast episode page I linked to has links to more reporting and plenty of keywords you can type into google.com if that's not enough.
Anyway, if you think a country having a low gdp per capita is how you measure if it should suspend voting rights for disabled people and stay at home parents, then I suspect you're not actually reading any of this.
