Seems like the guy in charge is the guy with the detonator then

eh, these types of social systems need an actually charismatic leader who can control the armed forces. i dont think modern CEOs are fit for that without the state protecting their assets. no rizz.

it would quickly devolve into the praetorian guard picking emperors type madness.

I think the best case scenario for a billionaire in a bunker is analogous to being Emperor under a Shogunate. Like your the symbolic leader who is needed to press their thumb against various biometric locks but it's very clear whoever in your security force has secured leadership is actually in charge. Take your MRE, go play some playstation, the adults are talking.

Worst case obviously involves a LOT of torture.

I'm not putting on the collar. I'm not eating the bugs. I'm not living in the capsule.
