  • Campaign finance rules and checks on presidential power are collapsing just as leading tech giants have gained power.

The article from Time magazine, titled "The Rise of America’s Broligarchy," discusses the increasing influence of a group of wealthy, politically connected men in American politics, often referred to as the "broligarchy." This group includes figures like Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and Peter Thiel, who not only wield significant economic power but also engage deeply in political and cultural spheres. The piece explores how these tech moguls, through their vast resources and platforms, are shaping public discourse, policy, and even electoral outcomes.
