Broligarchy is a slang term, a blend of "bro" and "oligarchy," describing a political system or power structure dominated by a small group of extremely wealthy, often male, tech entrepreneurs (like Elon Musk, Peter Thiel) whose vast wealth, influence, and shared ideologies in tech/finance allow them to shape government policy, media, and societal norms, effectively ruling like an informal, unelected class. It critiques how these tech magnates wield outsized influence, sometimes bypassing traditional checks and balances, leading to concerns about plutocracy and democratic erosion, especially in the US.
