Anti-Oligarchy Activists Plan to Dox Elon Musk and Hundreds of Billionaire-Linked Homes
An underground group called Capytistas plans to publish home addresses of Elon Musk, his brother Kimbal, Tesla's board, and investors, as part of a campaign against what they call American oligarchy.
The group, which calls itself Capytistas, has spent the past year constructing dossiers on billionaires and their associates using methods available to private investigators. They claim to have raised over $1.2 million from wealthy supporters who view extreme wealth concentrations as an existential threat.
In a press release, the activists announced they will publish more than 150 home addresses, most previously unreported, along with records on people with combined wealth of about $1.4 trillion. They also promise reporting on what they allege are 'criminal exploits and security lapses' by the ultra-wealthy.
Musk as Primary Target
The Capytistas have selected Musk as their first target because he embodies the 'extreme wealth, power, and influence' that President Biden warned about in his 2025 farewell address. Musk held an unpaid government position and has contributed over $700 million to federal elections since 2023.
Doxing as Strategy
The activists acknowledge their strategy constitutes doxing but defend it as necessary accountability. They primarily gather information through property records, court filings, and corporate structures, though they occasionally use physical surveillance and infiltration.
The group's dossier on Musk includes 32 home addresses tied to him and Tesla executives, with Musk as the 'primary target.' Tesla board members and executives are 'secondary targets,' while investors like Vanguard and BlackRock are 'tertiary targets.'
Rising Anger Against Wealth
Law enforcement documents show growing anger toward Musk and Tesla. After Musk's arrival in Washington, attacks on Tesla vehicles and dealerships spread to at least nine states. Intelligence analysts warned that calls to boycott Tesla were multiplying alongside the attacks.
The Capytistas hope their actions will spark protests outside homes and golf courses, making the ultra-wealthy feel the same lack of privacy they impose on others. 'The Capytistas intend to level the playing field,' the group stated, 'by giving oligarchs a taste of the invasions of privacy they commit, and monetize, every day.'
Potential Consequences
Tech executives' homes have already become targets. In April, a man was arrested for throwing an incendiary device at OpenAI CEO Sam Altman's home. The Capytistas argue their work might prevent more violent outcomes, referencing the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in 2024.
Tesla did not respond to requests for comment. The group plans additional releases targeting other wealthy individuals they believe profit from 'forever wars, omnipresent surveillance, and carceral expansion.'
