There are quite a few, some high profile ones I suspect are Alex Jones, David Icke, Donald Trump, RFK Jr., Elon Musk, Joe Rogan, Russel Brand.

Those were some of them I had in mind. Also Bernie sanders, aoc and Noam Chomsky seem to be controlled opposition as well.

Nikki Haley is the worst fake-Republican I've ever seen. I don't even like either side (although Democrats/Liberals have been way worse the last ten years,) but Nikki Haley was such a joke, she's basically the female Jeb Bush. Pretty much anyone on the right who is anti-Trump, is controlled opposition.

Outside of politics, I suspect Elon Musk is, too. People love him and act like he's "The People's Billionaire," but he's still a billionaire and one of the richest people on Earth, nonetheless.

At this point, who isn't? Anyone that gains any popular following shows some sort of shift. Kanye, Alex Jones, Trump, Bernie.i don't follow politics except on a couple social media sites, but Paul Rand used to be a little outspoken, but not much from him these days.

How powerful are a group of people that can buy and consolidate every media in a country and clump them into 6 companies? All using only 1 or 2 sources for their content?
