Elon Musk holds no elected office. Yet House Speaker Mike Johnson is hopping like a scared rabbit after Musk voiced opposition to a continuing resolution to fund the government. When we speak of oligarchs, we tend to think of Slavic billionaires, who call the shots from their dachas in Sochi. But there are an increasing number of American oligarchs on both the left and right ends of the political spectrum. They are far more dangerous to American democracy than some poor bastard who fails to get the necessary papers before he moves here.
