An international activist group calling themselves the **Capytistas** has declared its intention to openly dox billionaires, launching a phased campaign against what it terms the "American oligarchy." The initial release, slated for this month, will reportedly map the homes of **Elon Musk**, his brother **Kimbal Musk**, and **Tesla's** board members, alongside key investors and suppliers. ### Dossiers and Data Collection Two anonymous members, speaking to WIRED, revealed that the group has spent the past year constructing detailed dossiers on billionaires and their top lieutenants. Their methods reportedly encompass those used by private investigators, along with some that fall outside conventional practice. The **Capytistas** claim to have raised over $1.2 million from "wealthy class traitors" who share their view that extreme concentrations of wealth and political power pose an "existential threat." In a recent press release, the group stated its intention to publish over 150 previously unreported home addresses and more than 3,500 records on individuals with a combined wealth of approximately $1.4 trillion. They also promise reporting on alleged "criminal exploits and security lapses." ### The Capytistas' Philosophy and Targets The group's name, **Capytistas**, is a play on the Zapatistas, and their avatar is the capybara, a symbol chosen in opposition to the Shiba Inu meme associated with **Musk's** "Department of Government Efficiency." The activists draw parallels between their targets and the "oligarchy" that President Joe Biden warned about in his 2025 farewell address, specifically citing **Musk's** immense wealth and political influence. While acknowledging their strategy amounts to doxing, the **Capytistas** embrace the term. They quote an adapted line from folk singer Utah Phillips: "Democracy is not dying, it’s being killed, and those who are killing it have names and addresses." Their primary data sources include public property records, court filings, and the LLCs and trusts used by wealthy individuals to acquire real estate. Less frequently, they resort to physical surveillance, human infiltration, and advertising intelligence data. One **Capytistas** member argued that billionaires' businesses continuously collect personal information, often non-consensually, while their owners enjoy private lives—a practice they label "doxmaxxing." The group aims to reciprocate this invasion of privacy. ### The Musk Dossier and Broader Implications A copy of the **Musk** dossier, reviewed by WIRED, categorizes subjects into tiers. **Musk** is the "primary target," with 32 associated home addresses. **Tesla** board members and top executives, including board chair **Robyn Denholm** and **Kimbal Musk**, are deemed "secondary targets," each profile featuring a critical biography and home address. Investors like **Vanguard** and **BlackRock**, along with nearly 40 suppliers, are listed as "tertiary targets" by corporate office, factory, or mine. **Tesla's** press office and investor relations team did not respond to requests for comment. The **Capytistas** view **Musk** as a gateway to broader public anger. Despite being one of their "least important" targets, his public profile is seen as a potent catalyst to direct outrage towards others whose fortunes are tied to perceived societal ills like "forever wars, omnipresent surveillance, and carceral expansion." Law enforcement records obtained by WIRED indicate a surge in attacks on **Tesla** vehicles and dealerships across nine states within months of **Musk's** arrival in Washington. Joint **FBI-DHS** bulletins warned of multiplying calls to boycott **Tesla** and protest **Musk**, with hundreds of demonstrations planned. ### Doxing as a Tactic Doxing has become a prevalent tactic for various groups. In March 2025, the anonymous site **DOGEQuest** claimed to publish addresses of **Tesla** owners and staff. Similarly, an **Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)** official testified that over three-quarters of deportation referrals came from **Canary Mission**, a site that compiles dossiers on pro-Palestinian students and professors. Even the **Department of Homeland Security (DHS)** has been accused of expanding the definition of doxing to include "videotaping" law enforcement. This stance, coupled with the agency's refusal to identify officers accused of crimes, has fueled public campaigns to unmask its employees. Recently, hackers published the names and work contacts of over 40,000 **DHS** employees and contractors, citing the agency's data collection practices while maintaining officer anonymity. ### Confronting the Powerful The **Capytistas** believe that privacy is the one asset billionaires value that activists can strip away. They aim to create a sense among targets that "someone is watching," hoping some will buckle under the pressure. For others, the group seeks to galvanize public displeasure, encouraging protests at homes and golf courses to confront those who influence government from their sanctuaries. This strategy follows incidents like the April attack on **OpenAI** CEO **Sam Altman's** home, where an incendiary device was thrown. One **Capytistas** member cited the killing of **UnitedHealthcare** CEO **Brian Thompson** in December 2024, arguing that their actions are an attempt to prevent such bloodshed. The group's statement echoed this, asserting that their "radical accountability" aims to build a "more democratic world."
