Oligarch Watch

About Judd Legum

At its best, journalism brings transparency and accountability to the actions of the powerful. Traditionally, most power is held by government officials and key industries. That is why we have media publications dedicated to covering the Supreme Court, Congress, Hollywood, and the energy sector.

But our media ecosystem does not reflect the reality of 2025. Today, an extraordinary amount of power is concentrated in just a handful of individuals, including Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, Peter Thiel, Sam Altman, and Tim Cook.

Oligarch Watch is a new kind of outlet that reflects our present circumstances.
