Yes, that was my second scenario. Truthfully, I don't know how it will go down, I can only hope we get a good outcome.
In my mind, I still think 100% unemployment would mean a lot of people who live today in relative comfort, and are therefore complacent with oligarchy, would get very mad. Even if bought by billionaires, I doubt they'd retain the same quality of life as when the economy needed them.
And I don't see billionaires isolating themselves forever in gated communities, what's the point of being this powerful if you live in a golden cage? Look at Musk, he's the richest man in the world, and could just chill in the shadows but is constantly seeking attention and recognition.

"AI has solved everything. Climate change. Limited resources. AI can fix it all. Everyone except a select few must stop ... reproducing." It's like when a large organization wants to reduce headcount and they do it with buyout packages and retirement.
