I think this was their 'plan' and that the people would fall in to the laps of your Bill Gates and the like.
'Unfortunately', guys like Elon and Trump who have the resources, connections and most importantly which they overlook, the natural support of people disrupt these plans since people can easily take all their 'hard work' and naturally have power given to them instead. Why do you think they want to assassinate Trump so much?
Before that happens the managerial state will try to socialize wealth so much that no individual can get that rich. So far
there are still too many rich elite on the establishment's side to allow that to happen.
Only if they are already in control of or in alignment with the regime. It strips wealth from opposition and prevents new wealth generation. Democratic socialism narrows the pyramid of wealth and power and makes your scenario far less possible. Arguably it's the whole purpose of the system. For sure it wouldn't be the "digital libertarians" the other comment mentioned, unless they act quickly. It will be a Gates or other WEF ally in line with global bankers. Those are the real "top".
How likely do you think this could happen in Europe?
I see the former becoming more likely. Musk, Thiel, and a lot of other "digital libertarians" who have serious money are really not alright with what is day by day looking like an obvious coup.
They could pay for and provide for a pretty decent mercenary force.
I doubt it will actually happen, in that manner, but in current times, people seem to forget maps are re-drawn and have been through out history.
Having been to the US it does seem like a serious strategic weakness that Washington D.C is within one of the most heavily populated regions of the country. I notice that its within a days drive between Boston, NYC, Baltimore, Philly, Pittsburgh. etc to D.C.
How long before a pissed off mob just sacks the city?

Oligarchy always leads to a strongman... Or destruction.
Now do communism.

Almost never. Every one of those cities think that the immiseration they live in is because some dude in Kansas is opposed to abortion.
