The elites that survived ended up better off. 50,000 other elites were killed during the French Revolution.

By the same token, the normal populace was also way better off after the French Revolution, since using the money and wealth of the dead elites to improve everyone's lives made a substantial impact on the French civilization that they are still benefiting from today.

In other words...the French Revolution is exactly the wrong type of example you want to be using when talking about whether violence against tech elites is acceptable.

Ish. Most survived. And they didn’t have jets. Revolutions today are broadly accretive for elites.
