My problem is that each paragraph starts with the same word. It’s a style issue. Elon changing his name to L1 is funny and sounds like something he’d actually do.

Nice story. I don’t like how in the beginning, several paragraphs open up with “L1”.

Also, one hard counter to assassination markets would be to simply obscure details of the death. Say the guy survived the first attack, then claim a second attack while he was in the hospital killed him. Wikipedia would be unable to provide the correct details for this mechanism for quite some time, and the risk that the wrong data gets entered would still be substantial. Alternatively, have the target predict his own death, and then release a fake report of the death. Claim the bounty, empty the pool.
