Save this story. An underground activist group says it plans to start openly doxing billionaires as part of a phased campaign against what it calls the American oligarchy—beginning this month with a release that maps the homes of Elon Musk, his brother Kimbal, and Tesla’s board, alongside investors and suppliers that keep the corporation afloat.

保存此报道。一个地下激进组织表示,计划开始公开曝光亿万富翁的个人信息,作为其针对所谓“美国寡头政治”分阶段行动的一部分。该行动将于本月启动,首批发布的内容将绘制出埃隆·马斯克(Elon Musk)、其兄弟金巴尔(Kimbal)以及特斯拉董事会成员的住所地图,同时还包括维持该公司运营的投资者和供应商信息。

Two of its members, interviewed by WIRED on the condition of anonymity, say they spent the past year constructing dossiers on billionaires—and one trillionaire—and the people they consider their top lieutenants, using nearly every method available to a private investigator, and some that are not.

该组织的两名成员在接受《连线》(WIRED)采访时表示,他们以匿名为条件,在过去一年里为亿万富翁(以及一位万亿富翁)及其眼中的核心助手建立了档案。他们使用了私家侦探所能利用的几乎所有方法,甚至包括一些非常规手段。

The pair say the group is international and includes grassroots activists, researchers, journalists, and artists, including some who received top honors in print, television, and digital media in their former careers. For security, many work in “silos” and do not know each other’s names. Through its connections, the group says it has raised more than $1.2 million from “a heartening number of wealthy class traitors” who share in the view that concentrations of extreme wealth and political power pose an “existential threat.”

两人称该组织是国际性的,成员包括草根活动家、研究人员、记者和艺术家,其中一些人在之前的职业生涯中曾获得过印刷、电视和数字媒体领域的最高荣誉。出于安全考虑,许多成员在“孤岛”中工作,互不知晓姓名。该组织表示,通过其人脉,他们已从“数量令人振奋的富有阶级叛徒”那里筹集了超过120万美元,这些人认同极端财富和政治权力的集中构成了“生存威胁”的观点。

In a press release Monday, the group says it intends to publish in coming releases more than 150 home addresses, most of them previously unreported. It also promises more than 3,500 records on people with a combined wealth of about $1.4 trillion, plus reporting on what the group alleges are “criminal exploits and security lapses.”

在周一的一份新闻稿中,该组织表示打算在未来的发布中公布超过150个家庭住址,其中大多数此前未被报道过。它还承诺将发布超过3500份记录,涉及总财富约1.4万亿美元的人群,并附带关于该组织所称的“犯罪剥削和安全漏洞”的报告。

Members of the organization call themselves Capytistas, a play on Zapatistas, the Indigenous insurgents of southern Mexico.

该组织的成员自称为“Capytistas”,这个名字源于墨西哥南部原住民起义军“萨帕塔主义者”(Zapatistas)的谐音。

The capybara, a placid rodent famous for getting along with almost any other animal, became the group’s avatar during the early days of Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency, as a secret rival to the Shiba Inu—the Doge meme Musk used to brand the agency. (The meme has since been reclaimed by pro-Ukranian activists who post as cartoon dogs to mock Russian propaganda and raise money for the war.)

水豚(Capybara)是一种以能与几乎任何其他动物和睦相处而闻名的温顺啮齿动物。在马斯克所谓的“政府效率部”成立初期,水豚成为了该组织的化身,作为对柴犬(Shiba Inu)的秘密对抗——柴犬是马斯克用来为该机构打上标签的“Doge”表情包。(该表情包后来被亲乌克兰的活动人士重新利用,他们以卡通狗的形象发布内容,以嘲讽俄罗斯的宣传并为战争筹款。)

Americans have long used the term “oligarch” to refer almost exclusively to Russian tycoons who carved up state industries after the Soviet collapse. But it entered mainstream American politics decisively in January 2025, when President Joe Biden used his farewell address to warn that an “oligarchy is taking shape in America.” No one typifies the “extreme wealth, power, and influence” Biden described more than the trillionaire Musk, who held an unpaid job as a special government employee for much of 2025 and has thrown more than $700 million into federal elections since 2023; the equivalent of roughly 15 million typical donations online.

长期以来,美国人使用“寡头”一词几乎仅指代苏联解体后瓜分国家工业的俄罗斯大亨。但这一词汇在2025年1月果断进入了美国主流政治,当时乔·拜登总统在告别演说中警告称,“一种寡头政治正在美国形成”。没有人比万亿富翁马斯克更能体现拜登所描述的“极端财富、权力和影响力”了。马斯克在2025年的大部分时间里担任无薪的政府特别雇员,自2023年以来已向联邦选举投入了超过7亿美元,相当于约1500万笔典型的在线捐款。

Doxing—the Capytistas’ chosen tactic—has meanwhile become a favored weapon of political guerrillas and self-appointed state informants: In March 2025, as protesters gathered outside Tesla dealerships, an anonymous site called DOGEQuest posted what it claims were the addresses of Tesla owners and DOGE staff. Months later, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement official testified that his unit drew more than three-quarters of its deportation referrals from Canary Mission—a site with similarly nebulous funding but radically different goals: building dossiers on pro-Palestinian students and professors.

与此同时,“人肉搜索”(Doxing)——Capytistas选择的策略——已成为政治游击队和自封的国家线人的常用武器:2025年3月,当抗议者聚集在特斯拉经销商门外时,一个名为DOGEQuest的匿名网站发布了其声称是特斯拉车主和DOGE员工的地址。几个月后,一名移民和海关执法局官员作证称,其部门超过四分之三的驱逐出境转介来自Canary Mission——一个资金来源同样模糊但目标截然不同的网站:为亲巴勒斯坦的学生和教授建立档案。

Few have done more to expand doxing than the Department of Homeland Security itself, which simply broadened the term to include, effectively, any “videotaping” of law enforcement. Its aggressive stance on keeping officers’ faces hidden, and its refusal to identify those credibly accused of crimes, has all but ensured public campaigns to unmask its employees. Last week, hackers published the names and work contacts of more than 40,000 DHS employees and contractors, citing its practice of collecting data on the public while hiding who its officers are.

几乎没有谁比国土安全部本身更致力于扩大“人肉搜索”的定义,该部门简单地将这一术语扩大到实际上涵盖了任何对执法人员的“录像”行为。其在隐瞒警官面部方面的强硬立场,以及拒绝识别那些被可靠指控犯罪的人员,几乎确保了公众会发起揭露其员工身份的运动。上周,黑客公布了超过4万名国土安全部员工和承包商的姓名及工作联系方式,理由是该部门在收集公众数据时却隐瞒其官员身份的做法。

Pressed on whether its strategy does amount to doxing, the Capytistas members agree that it does, saying they have no qualms with describing their efforts that way. The group has even taken as its creed an adapted quote from the late folk singer and labor organizer Utah Phillips: “Democracy is not dying, it’s being killed,” they say, “and those who are killing it have names and addresses.”

当被问及他们的策略是否确实属于“人肉搜索”时,Capytistas成员表示同意,并称他们毫不介意用这种方式来描述他们的努力。该组织甚至将已故民谣歌手兼劳工组织者犹他·菲利普斯(Utah Phillips)的一句改编名言作为其信条:“民主并没有在消亡,它正在被谋杀,”他们说,“而那些谋杀它的人是有名字和地址的。”

Most of the Capytistas’ work involves digging up property records, court filings, and the LLCs and trusts that wealthy people use to buy real estate. The activists say they turn occasionally, but far less often, to physical surveillance, human infiltration, and advertising intelligence, the location and profile data bought and sold through online ad markets.

Capytistas的大部分工作涉及挖掘房产记录、法庭文件,以及富人用于购买房地产的有限责任公司(LLC)和信托基金。这些活动人士表示,他们偶尔也会转向物理监控、人员渗透和广告情报(即通过在线广告市场买卖的位置和个人资料数据),但频率要低得多。

To remain profitable, one of the Capytistas argued, the businesses billionaires operate need to continuously collect people’s personal information, often nonconsensually, even as their owners and executives enjoy relatively private lives—entire fortunes built around “doxmaxxing.”

其中一名Capytistas成员认为,为了保持盈利,亿万富翁经营的企业需要不断收集人们的个人信息,通常是在未经同意的情况下,即便其所有者和高管享受着相对私密的生活——整个财富都是围绕着“人肉搜索最大化”(doxmaxxing)建立的。

A copy of the Musk dossier seen by WIRED sorts its subjects into tiers and contains 32 home addresses tied to Musk and his executives. Musk is the “primary target.” Tesla’s board members and top executives—among them board chair Robyn Denholm and Kimbal Musk—are “secondary targets.” Each profile pairs a critical biography, drawn from court rulings, labor board decisions, and securities filings, with a home address. Investors such as Vanguard and BlackRock and nearly 40 suppliers are considered “tertiary targets,” listed only by corporate office, factory, or mine.

《连线》看到的一份马斯克档案副本将目标分成了不同等级,并包含了与马斯克及其高管相关的32个家庭住址。马斯克是“主要目标”。特斯拉的董事会成员和高管——其中包括董事会主席罗宾·丹霍姆(Robyn Denholm)和金巴尔·马斯克——是“次要目标”。每份档案都将一份基于法庭裁决、劳工委员会决定和证券备案文件的批判性传记与一个家庭住址配对。先锋集团(Vanguard)和贝莱德(BlackRock)等投资者以及近40家供应商被视为“三级目标”,仅列出了公司办公室、工厂或矿山地址。

Tesla’s press office and investor relations team did not respond to requests for comment.

特斯拉新闻办公室和投资者关系团队未回应置评请求。

The Capytistas see Musk as effectively a gateway for normies who have yet to join its class war. Its file on him is among the smallest it has prepared, and he ranks among its “least important” targets, members say. But he was chosen first because no other person draws as much public anger, and the group hopes to harness that and release it upon others whose fortunes rely on forever wars, omnipresent surveillance, and carceral expansion.

Capytistas认为,马斯克实际上是那些尚未加入其阶级斗争的普通人的切入点。成员们表示,他们为马斯克准备的档案是所有档案中最小的之一,他在其目标中属于“最不重要”的级别。但他之所以被选为首个目标,是因为没有其他人能像他那样引发如此多的公众愤怒,该组织希望利用这种愤怒,并将其释放到那些财富依赖于永恒战争、无处不在的监控和监禁扩张的其他人身上。
