    In a world where The Purge exists, you think Elon wouldn’t have automated security guns and maybe even actual robot terminators? Have you seen those movies? The rich fuckers are always the ones who come out on top, except the one time a poor person fucked up one of their murder orgies after almost being murdered.

      ’cept Elon would cheap out any chance he could – his recent tech show proved he couldn’t handle anything more complex than animatronics puppeted by underpaid interns

      Except this is Elon we’re taking about, the guns would jam and the robots would trip and fall and break.

    • Yeah but he’d get cocky and take his cyber truck out. Then we’d throw rocks at it and break his “unbreakable” windows. It’d be real easy to get him, and the one who does is going to be the king of the purge. We’ll leave them alone out of respect.

    • I feel with enough people working together, something could be done. I don’t mean to threaten anyone, so let’s just say the target is a Fictional Evil Technologically Advanced Billionaire, or FETAB ; and definitely not any real person. The strategy I have in mind would involve digging trenches outside his property and literally smoking him out by burning a huge pile of tires upwing.

      The biggest problem would be getting shot by drones while digging or while setting up the pile of tires (if it’s done during the purge) or being attacked by police if it’s done beforehand. I think secret underground tunnels should start being dug in secret before the purge, so they can collapse into trenches when needed. Then, the trenches keep FETAB from escaping by land in his FETAB-mobile, and the smoke makes a helicopter or private jet difficult to get of ground.

      Drones or makeshift aircrafts with makeshift incendiary bombs can be sent to the house under the cover of the smoke. Even assuming he is in an underground bunker, this much smoke would put it’s air filtration systems under significant stresses and also cause big material losses. In the end, he still have chances of making it out alive, his death would come either from suffocation in his bunker (if hos filters are saturated by soot and he doesn’t have enough bottled oxygen) or, more likely, him trying to escape and having an accident (made more likely by the smoke and trenches).

        Thanks for outlining this for us. Working on securing the rich, so I have to think of all possibilities.

        The last time when you could overwhelm a well-fortified position with pure numbers was more than 100 years ago.
        Today, with enough funds and prep time, an automated system can kill tens of thousands of angry citizens before they get close, no matter what strategy they use in the moment.

      Who needs terminators when a nice irradiated zone will do the job just fine

      His robots wouldn’t be fully automated though cause he thought cameras were too expensive and unnecessary so they shoot at everything. Fortunately for him he has a “musk” mode that uncaps their rate of fire, but the bullets run out fast.
