Imagine a third-world country that recently held an #election. The election was seen as free and fair, although the richest man in the country paid for and overtly campaigned for one candidate, and that candidate won. #POTUS decides to call the winner to congratulate him. On that call, the winner’s billionaire donor shows up uninvited, and starts talking to POTUS.

When this is reported in the US #media, would they label the billionaire an #oligarch?

#Elon is an oligarch. #oligarchy
