This is frustratingly naive. Do you think there's no one who will offer protection in exchange for an extra scoop of porridge? Throughout history, most soldiers didn't fight for acause...they did it for the paycheck. Billionaires already have an entourage, there will always be people under their umbrellas.
Hell, forget about the money...you don't think there's anyone who would gladly take a bullet for Elon Musk in exchange for nothing?
That's because we're not desperate. If zuck is living in a bunker, it would not be normal times.
"I'm looking for 50 guys to defend my compound. You can live there and eat for free"
Nobody's taking that offer when they're desperate?
Lol, they would absolutely take that offer. Have you ever lived in the South? They would then go there and do whatever, and I mean whatever, they want.
ETA: Do you think people wouldn't do it because they have morals or ethics about it or something? Even if you're a fan of Musk, it wouldn't be for long and he would be gone.
