“Privatize everything”

This unelected billionaire won't stop until America's best public services are destroyed.

Justice Democrats

Elon Musk won't stop until America's federal government and best public services are destroyed, Harris:

Reuters: Elon Musk says Post Office, Amtrak should be privatized. Mar 6, 2025 —

The unelected billionaire and head of DOGE has already infiltrated multiple federal agencies and attempted to cut funding to the bone while conducting mass firings of thousands of workers. His cuts to USAID are already having deadly impacts.

Now, it's no surprise Musk wants to come for Amtrak and the U.S. Postal Service — two of our most popular and important public services — and turn them into private businesses to make a profit.

If Musk and DOGE were serious about cutting waste, they should start at the Pentagon, which has failed 7 audits in a row and has a $850 billion budget for corporate defense contractors, rather than Amtrak, which is posting record ridership for everyday people. Or they could look at Tesla, SpaceX, and Starlink — Musk's companies have gorged themselves on more than 38 billion dollars in government contracts since 2008.

We can't let DOGE take a chainsaw to critical public services like these. Will you add your name to our petition demanding Democrats defend Amtrak and the Post Office from Musk's corporate coup?

Add Your Name

In solidarity,

Justice Democrats
