Likely won't happen to any meaningful effect. Think about the options in the first world - Europe, Canada, Australia, New Zealand. Some of those countries have less friendly tax regimes and less stability. The US is still the friendliest to the rich.

The rich threatening to live is just that - a threat.

France said the same until a few famous people left. Playing a dare game is risky and these days there are a lot of nice places where American ex-citizens moved, there is an entire business around helping them finding the best places. It is lot like you have a cow to milk and it's safe because you put a fence so it cannot leave, when you treat people like cattle they can show they can be falcons and fly away.
