What's the likelihood that Elon Musk is defenestrated, like Russian oligarchs, in the next few months? (self.askshit)

The U.S. slide into dictatorship, with close ties to Russia, implies a learning curve that should align with events there. When some oligarch falls out of favor with Putin, they somehow commit suicide (see for example the fairly long list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suspicious_Russia-related_deaths_since_2022), including some who shot themselves five times in the chest. Trump taking advice from Putin is likely to lead to even stranger deaths than Jeffrey Epstein's.

Any thoughts or predictions?

0%, straight-up killing a billionaire would freak out other billionaires, and Elon is the most easily discredited person ever. A character assassination would be more effective than an actual assassination.

That's very logical. But counterpoint: many powerful people are idiots.
