In isolation that is not a right-wing thing to say, but a typical pundit statement.
I'm as anti-pundit as anyone, but on the surface it is true. Working class (not truly "the little guy") has turned right wing, while service and consumer businesses (not "big business" — finance, extractive and fossil industry as retrograde as ever) have grown concerned about right-wing policies.
The Democrats used to have an unhealthy with the #broligarchs, now it is the Trump mafia.
I've been tracking the #broligarchs and #mairikkkan markets over just the last 16 days in this thread:

Holy fuck is #capitalism gutting itself.
Which, as historians know, is filled with potential for fascists.

What's wrong with #billionaires and #broligarchs?
Ooooh, so much. Let us count the ways!

(Also, 25% wealth tax/year, dropping to 5% when they're down to $78m?)
Hey, conservatives.
Please say you're not surprised at the behaviour of oligopolists?
Is this the goal you had in mind?
@georgetakei
Having gobs of money doesn't make people intelligent. And we've seen from Trump and his broligarchs that wealth doesn't make them better than us.

Democratic Senator #RubenGallego (#Arizona) did a $5,000 a plate dinner with broligarch /Nerd Reich billionaire #MarcAndreessen and Matt Yglesias at the same time as #AOC and #BernieSanders were doing their recent rally in #Tucson.
The US Congress has been captured by the industry on both sides, not just the Republicans. Gallego was one of the largest recipients of the money laundering industry's - sorry, i mean "the crypto industry's" - financial support in the 2024 election. He's a disaster for the country.
Not sure how long they've been doing this. But the BBC gives readers a choice regarding whether they wish to see content

A sign of strange times when Steve Bannon, of all people, (sort of) nails the description of the Silicon Valley oligarchy and techno feudalism:
#HowardLutnick is claiming he has sold 1,000 permanent US residence permits for $5 million each (Trump's "Gold Cards") to the world's wealthiest kleptocrats, oligarchs, and crypto bros (though he doesn't describe them that way).
note that these people will be able to live in the US but (unlike US citizens) will not have to pay taxes on their foreign income.
you should expect america's billionaires to start "emigrating" to other countries and "coming back" as Gold Card holders for tax reasons.

"I'm an American software developer and the 'broligarchs' don't speak for me".
Wherein I pour my heart out, agonize over every word, and hope I'm not misunderstood.
The mini bounce for Tesla sparked by the staged event in front of the White House last week has ended.
On Monday the three major stock market indices all had minor gains of under 1%. But Tesla (TSLA) slipped 4.79%.
Nobody wants Apartheid Elon's NaziMobiles.
