    I’d start testing to see what the restrictions are on the note - for example, could you get Thiel to give all his money away and then end himself? If there aren’t many restrictions you could say “Netanyahu, by nuclear weapon, at the Davos summit in 2025” in order to take out a whole bunch of the ruling class at once.

    The other thing I’d try is writing “Elon Musk, guillotined by a revolutionary communist government made from the population of the former United States” to see if I could get regime change to happen.

      I don’t know if I’m remembering the plot correctly but I think you can control the actions of only the target individual and only in a way that’s reasonably possible

        You are only able to specifically control the actions of the named target, but their death can involve another person.

        Ie you can say “so and so gets hit by a bus” and a random bus nearby will hit them, but you cannot say “so and so is killed by such and such” and have the second person kill the first. I believe both people die of a heart attack if you try.
