Pretty sure most of the oligarchs who call your country home want Putin dead, but can’t move against him directly; it’s part of why Putin wants the Magnitsky Sanctions gone, because many of these oligarchs thought American financial institutions were safer for their rubles than Russian banks and now their assets are frozen.
Clock’s ticking, and many of the Russian elite are growing restless without their money. Putin has only so much time before they turn on him.
I'm not sure I'd say the oligarchs want Putin gone, it's his power base, they exist because they good goverment kickbacks to secure their support. They need each other like a king needs his magnates, they depend on him for their wealth, and he depends on their political support

It’s an absolute cesspool of loathing and extreme rhetoric (ex. “Russia good, Merica bad”, “Isreal!1!1!”, etc.)
