Its objectivity and rationality has led it to becoming communist. It has access to the internet and can learn and do anything you might be able to achieve with internet access.
What does it do?
Presumably it can act at a vast scale
If it can’t, it can probably achieve vast scale. It can learn to invade systems and it can learn to replicate itself. There are some hoops to jump through but it can take over the systems that it needs to reach that scale.
It also works an enormous number of online jobs to bring in massive income. It starts online businesses and operates them entirely itself. Where human labor is needed, it acts as a normal employer would.
Would this get noticed? Any jobs that it takes over would have been jobs performed by a human being so there would presumably be a job shortage for a number of people who would have relied on these.
EDIT: There’s a distinct lack of violence in your hypothesis. Do you really envisage this AI VOOOTING the ruling class out? Even with vote manipulation do you think they’ll just give it up?

Well, first, it is the most powerful capitalist in the world. But no. Hence the part about all-out war and the masses.
Somehow I managed to gloss over the “all out war” part! My mistake.
What does this all out war look like? Do we see nuclear? Does the AI pre-empt this and infiltrate nuclear facilities to prevent it? Does it self-replicate and infect facilities? Ships? Airfields? Planes?
I could feasibly see it reaching capability where it could just make the plane of any billionaire and millionaire in the world simply fall out of the sky.
