An underground international activist network known as the Capytistas intends to publish over 150 residential addresses of billionaires and high-profile executives, starting this month with Elon Musk, his brother Kimbal, and Tesla board members.
The Campaign
Two anonymous members stated they spent a year building dossiers on ultra-wealthy figures and their top allies using private investigator techniques. The group claims to have raised more than $1.2 million from wealthy donors and plans to release over 3,500 records detailing a combined wealth of roughly $1.4 trillion, alongside allegations of criminal actions and security flaws. The organization takes its name from the Capybara, which served as its avatar during the formation of the Department of Government Efficiency, acting as a secret rival to the Shiba Inu Doge meme.
Methods And Targets
The group relies heavily on property records, court documents, and corporate trusts used to purchase real estate, with occasional physical surveillance and digital ad data. Musk is ranked as the primary target and a gateway to attract public attention, while Tesla board chair Robyn Denholm and Kimbal Musk are secondary targets. Investors like Vanguard and BlackRock alongside nearly 40 suppliers are categorized as tertiary targets, identified only by their corporate offices or facilities. Tesla and its representatives did not respond to requests for comment regarding the upcoming disclosures.
Broader Context
Law enforcement records from an FBI-DHS bulletin reveal that protests and attacks targeting Tesla vehicles and dealerships spread to at least nine states following Musk's involvement in Washington. The Capytistas argue that publishing these locations creates radical accountability and strips away the privacy of figures who profit from data collection, hoping to prompt public demonstrations outside residential properties and private clubs. Meanwhile, other recent attacks have targeted tech leadership, including an April incident where a suspect threw an incendiary device at the home of OpenAI chief executive Sam Altman.
Context
The term oligarch, traditionally used for Russian tycoons, entered mainstream American political discourse when former officials warned about the concentration of extreme wealth and political influence in the United States. Doxing campaigns have increasingly emerged as tools for various political and activist groups seeking to expose individuals or organizations they oppose. Property records and corporate registries remain public information in many jurisdictions, making them accessible to investigators who examine how wealthy individuals structure their real estate holdings.
