TELL CONGRESS: Musk went from spending millions on a pro-Trump super PAC to helming an agency tasked with massive cuts to critical government programs like Medicare and Social Security. We must stop his dangerous plan. Sign the petition: Stop Musk's devastating DOGE cuts! Harris, Elon Musk set aside some of his millions to create and fund a super PAC in support of Donald Trump.1 Now, Musk is heading the "Department of Government Efficiency" with the sole task of creating "hardship"2 for everyday Americans through devastating spending cuts. A billionaire is now in charge of slashing Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, public education, labor law enforcement, and so much more. The ultra-rich like Musk should not have so much power in our political system and Congress must stop his dangerous reign at DOGE. While Musk promises cuts to essential services, his companies already hold billions in federal contracts. Musk's massive fortune and the clear conflicts of interest Musk would have in any White House role are serious dangers to our democracy.3 As the New York Times put it, Trump giving Musk the role in his administration would, "essentially give the world's richest man and a major government contractor the power to regulate the regulators who hold sway over his companies, amounting to a potentially enormous conflict of interest."4 Elon Musk has extraordinary influence and control over our society because of the tremendous wealth he's stockpiled that he then used to help elect Trump. Now, he could destroy public services at his department of hardship. Thanks for taking action, Sources:
