Musk and his friends are planning right now , on how to handle the menace.

Out of ego or the Principe that 'you don’t treat with terrorist" they will never allow free healthcare (at least, as long trump is in power).

So what will they do?

Fly a plane into another tower? Found “evidence” that Luigi is a pedophile? distract us with a war with china? Enforce gun control? Ban gun 3d printing? Just enroll more bodyguards they will never trust?

    Paranoid much?

    They’ll let it play out normally and the next interesting thing will distract the majority of Americans.

    Oh it’s almost January? Here comes Trump News every day

    They don’t need to do anything.

    No one is calling for a reform of private healthcare, they have lobbying capabilities that will make any legislation to curb them meaningless.

    This is not an event that will spark much change if any change sadly.

    “Oh, there wasn’t any political agenda we need to acknowledge. He only did it because he plays radical, violent video games like Among Us. I wouldn’t be surprised if he committed suicide in prison after beating himself unconscious while all the cameras were unsuspiciously turned off.”

      I suppose Luigi dying is the worse case for CEO scared of copycat killer, that will probably make him a martyr

    One of the outcomes from Russia’s war on Ukraine is the knowledge of how to build killer FPV drones.

    The rest is covered in the short film “Slaughterbots”.

    No, I don’t know how anyone will counter that future.

      There was a book called The Ministry for the Future in which eco-terrorists used these drones to enforce fuel efficiency standards on shipping freighters.

      It’s a very interesting book about taking the world back from billionaires who would ruin it to enrich themselves.

    I heard a coworker talk about how the CEO was going to testify against Nancy Peloci and they were old family friends or some convoluted story. So there’s that one floating around.

    At this point I just let my imagination run wild and look for worst case scenarios, then trim off only the most outlandish.

    The first step is going to be encouraging and enabling “VIP Protection.” Restrictions on things like where you can carry a gun will be relaxed for people acting as security for “People at elevated risk,” which will mean “The rich.”

    Next there will be new laws that increase the severity of punishments for actions against the rich. It’ll be similar to hate crime rules, escalating the punishments beyond just what was done.

    There may also be changes in “Self Defense” cases loosening the requirements to justify lethal force if the one defending themselves is “Economically Maligned,” so basically if you’re rich you can kill someone in self defense just because they looked at you while poor. VIP protection details will be legally permitted to subdue and detain anyone they suspect of “ill will toward” their wealthy client, including everyone poor in and around whatever location the VIP wants to visit.

    Finally Republicans will finally “compromise” on gun control by allowing new fees and taxes that are solely intended to move guns out of reach of the poor.

    It will all be in the name of “fighting class warfare” and “protecting job creators from the radical left.”

    If we’re just pulling shit out of our ass, maybe this will encourage conspiracy nuts to actually learn about political organizing and the rich history of well-documented movements from the last 100+ yrs that have resulted in real change/benefits for the working class

    Hell, maybe people will even start reading more! Like, stuff written by authors and shit. lol. Now, that’d be some crazy. lol. I wonder if Musk “and his friends” could ever pull that one off - getting Americans to read/learn - even with their infinite money hacks

    Crazy stuff. Now, hurry up and pass that shit! You’re hoggin it

      My simple ton neutral question made you think that I’m mad? That need a lot of assumption from your part to get to this. Most of the time it is wrong to assume beliefs, or intention of stranger on the internet, plus it doesn’t address the question.

      On the other part, I can agree with you: it could all fizzle up, out of distraction, soon

        Your question isn’t framed neutrally at all

        How the elite will try to “solve” the ceo assassination?

        The question itself is assuming the elite class is losing sleep over this and desperately trying to do something about it. Right off the bat I don’t think it’s asked in good faith.

        Musk and his friends are planning right now , on how to handle the menace.

        This is an assumption and is trying to get a specific response from Lemmy users.

        Fly a plane into another tower?

        No comment.

        Found “evidence” that Luigi is a pedophile? distract us with a war with china? Enforce gun control? Ban gun 3d printing? Just enroll more bodyguards they will never trust?

        Fake scenarios & conspiracies to make the situation seem way worse than it is.

          How biased or mad you think I am, is irrelevant to the question.

    Found “evidence” that Luigi is a pedophile?

    Seems to be their M.O. After already putting him in life in prison, first, of course. The CSAM planting stuff is just to run his name through the mud and make sure no one ever speaks positively about him again

    They will tell anyone left of center that he’s a far-right nutjob, then simultaneously tell anyone right of center that he’s a radical marxist trying to bring down America, then people will fight each other.

    I mean, that’s what I’d do if I was in charge of intelligence agencies.

    Edit: As someone who leans left on the political spectrum, Idgaf even if he turned out to be right wing, the deed itself is good, and even if he was right wing, I still blame the media for those views that he has, he’s probably still a good person at heart.

    Funny you should ask. Realistically though they will try every tactic available to them, from trying to shape public opinion, to lobbying Congress to pass a new law providing taxpayer funded security for private corporations, and drafting legislation placing themselves as a protected class of people, so that actions against them can be charged as hate crimes or terrorism. Probably the latter, since under the Patriot Act they can then hold people indefinitely without charge or trial, and torture them.

        The day is coming where they will be able to match up online accounts with their actual users in the real world. Probably sell that data to the same list job recruiters use and sync everything up
