An activist group named Capytistas is set to release personal information, including addresses, of billionaires, starting with Elon Musk and his associates. The group claims to have gathered over 3,500 records related to individuals with a combined wealth of $1.4 trillion. Their first release will target Musk, his brother Kimbal, and Tesla's board members, with plans to disclose more than 150 addresses. The group has raised over $1.2 million from supporters who believe that extreme wealth poses an existential threat to democracy. The doxing campaign is intended to expose the wealthy elite and their alleged criminal activities, although the group asserts that their goal is not to incite violence but to raise awareness. The Capytistas draw inspiration from the Zapatistas and have adopted a capybara as their mascot. This initiative follows a growing trend of doxing as a political tool in the U.S., particularly against figures associated with wealth and power.
