The Department of Class Solidarity, an emerging left-wing activist group, launched a project to “audit” and track over 1,000 billionaires across the U.S. Their stated goal is not financial transparency, but political warfare: to document billionaire ties to President Trump, and then equip activists with the tools to, in their words, “defeat them.”
The group recently published its first five audits, each featuring a high-profile billionaire with direct or indirect links to the Trump agenda. The names include some of the wealthiest and most influential figures in American business: Elon Musk, Palantir CEO Alex Karp, former Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) official Antonio Gracias, Silicon Valley “supervillain” Peter Thiel, and Amazon’s Jeff Bezos.
Each billionaire’s profile is accompanied by a stylized “wanted poster,” underscoring the group’s framing of billionaires as political enemies.
On its website, the Department of Class Solidarity describes itself as a kind of revolutionary intelligence hub for activists:
“The Department of Class Solidarity arms organizers, activists, and everyday people with the tools to expose the billionaires ransacking our democracy. Welcome to the war room of the working class.”
Another section of the site highlights the scale of the project:
“There are nearly 1,000 billionaires in our United States. We’re auditing every single one to arm the working class with the knowledge we need to defeat them.”
The campaign is already building toward action. Organizers are promoting a “People vs. Billionaires Week of Action” scheduled for 21–27 August, leading into a Labor Day National Day of Action on Monday, 01 September.
While only 15 events are currently scheduled, the group is clearly attempting to establish a long-term campaign that will target wealthy elites, tie them to the Trump agenda, and generate social pressure against their businesses and political activities.
