Anti-Oligarchy Activists Plan to Dox Elon Musk and Hundreds of Billionaire-Linked Homes
The Capytistas, a secretive group claiming more than $1.2 million in backing, started with Elon Musk and Tesla’s board. Members argue that those who buy political power deserve the scrutiny they’ll impose.
Two activists, who spoke anonymously to WIRED, revealed they have been working on the past year to compile dossiers on billionaires and potential future targets, including a trillionaire. The group, known as Capytistas, is composed of activists, researchers, journalists, and artists, many of whom previously held prominent roles in print, television, and digital media.
They have collectively raised over $1.2 million, primarily from individuals who share the belief that excessive wealth and political power pose a threat to society. Capytistas have announced plans to publish more than 150 unreported home addresses and over 3,500 records related to individuals with a combined wealth of approximately $1.4 trillion.
The group maintains that their actions constitute doxing, and they are driven by a quote attributed to labor organizer Utah Phillips: "Democracy is not dying, it’s being killed, and those who are killing it have names and addresses."
