I never understood why people setting up bunkers expect the security to still be loyal after whatever happens.

I'll sell them unquestioningly loyal security LLMs if they want.

Even loyal security would hardly be sufficient. If a million people have decided they want your head on a pike, even a billionaire cannot afford a big enough army. And what exactly is a billionaire in that world anyway?

Why are some people loyal to corrupt governments?

Can't find the article mentioning it but apparently it's an open problem they're thinking about.

But yeah if society collapses these billionaire nerds are the first to go. Quietly, in their bunkers, while the team leader of their seal mercenary team takes over.

Even before the rest of us realizes what's happening.
