It's pretty dark actually. Some are thinking of outfitting their employees with shock/death collars they can control remotely, drones, all sorts of stuff like that. There was a guardian article about it a few years ago.
I think this is it: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2018/jul/23/tech-industry-wealth-futurism-transhumanism-singularity
There is a podcast with the Daily Shows Jon Stewart where he says this as well. He was at a dinner party and rich people were talking about how to control populations after monetary means are gone.
