We would need 212 Mega Guillotines to eliminate all the world’s billionaires at once.
212,000,000 guillotines. Wow! 222,298,112 if you’re a nerd.
Cons; the blade will weigh a metric fuckton.
That’s about it.
Wouldn’t a heavy blade be a good thing? So you can ensure a clean cut on the way down?
Oh sure, to get a good cut, you need a heavy blade.
The point is… who’s gonna lift it up?
You can see the heft a blade meant for a single head has in this video from guys who made one this summer: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/RPO7fm_ZtlY (it’s a short no long video)
Perhaps the design could be altered.
I know the appeal of a guillotine is that it’s fairly simple, but if we’re gonna scale it up for maximal decapitating efficiency, then I feel like we can afford to have a motor with some horsepower lift the blade. Maybe two to make keeping both sides of the blade even easier.
Nah just add a decent pulley and maybee thicker beams so it wont collapse.

The mega guillotine is unproven tech, lets test it on all the MAGA freaks before we roll it out to greater use.
You can fit so many billionaires into this bad boy.
Can someone do the math on this? What kind of force would you need on the blade to cut through 15 fat rich person necks? How heavy would it need to be? And what speed, like how high would the drop need to be? Would it be strong enough to just hold at two ends, or would the flex cause issues with it not dropping straight?
At this point it would probably be better to have some kind of pneumatic cylinder that chops off a single head, but does it really really fast. That way you can just drop down the rich asshole, lop off their head, pull the body away and plop down the next one. How much throughput could we get with that?
I’m not saying we should grind any living beings into pulp, but I’m pretty sure those meat grinders they throw male chickens into, already exist in very similar and much larger versions in various industries.
