"An electron is not matter."
Interesting idea.  Do you have an authority for that statement ?
Sounds a little odd to me.

An electron is not matter. Its a subatomic particle and constituent of
matter. It cannot be crushed, because its not in the scale of objects
to which crushing (weight force / relative mass) apply. It can of
course be annihilated, or "decay," which satisfies my rebuttal of the
indestructibility concept.
