Is there a danger of the US becoming an Oligarchy?

"What is an oligarchy?

The general definition of an oligarchy is a form of government involving the rule of a few persons or families. According to National Geographic, Greek philosopher Aristotle used the term in contrast to aristocracy (the elite upper class) to describe the rule of a few for “corrupt and unjust purposes.”

There are so many Democrat billionaires looking to control the country (Soros, etc), it's definitely something to worry about.
@graphite Musk, Zuckerberg and Bezos don't bother you?

@JonLosAngeles66 Bezos owns the Democrat-dominated Washington Compost. Zuckerberg has done what he's told by the Democrat-run FBI, etc.

Wikipedia: The Post editorial board endorsed Barack Obama in 2008 and 2012; Hillary Clinton in 2016; and Joe Biden in 2020.

Excerpt: Mark Zuckerberg says Facebook restricting a story about Joe Biden's son during the 2020 election was based on FBI misinformation warnings.

Musk no longer is conned by the Democrats, apparently.

Wikipedia: In 2014, Musk described himself politically as "half Democrat, half Republican" and "somewhere in the middle, socially liberal and fiscally conservative."
