At some point in this decade probably, we're going to enter Marius/Sulla territory. Someone very wealthy is going to decide that might makes right and they're going to put together their own private military after the feds continuously 'fail'(read: deliberately act against our interests), and the feds will be faced with a choice. Send the gutted, broke, and incompetent gay brown woman military to try to stop them, knowing that if they lose, the whole rotten insides of the corpse of the former United States will be revealed to the whole world and it'll be open season, or tacitly go along with it and pretend retroactively that it was their idea all along, retaining nominal public power for a little longer while basically just being a figurehead government. The US is ripe for a dictator, benevolent or not. Someone with billions is going to realize it, and there are enough broke and hopeless young men who have been cast out by soyciety that he won't be lacking recruits.
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?

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