As I write this, Elon Musk is the third-richest person on Earth, with a net worth estimated at $192.8 billion.*

Musk owns a company called SpaceX.
President Biden has a proposal in his latest budget that would stop companies like SpaceX from freeloading on essential government resources and start making them pay their fair share for maintaining our nation’s air traffic infrastructure.

To President Joe Biden:

It is absurd that companies like SpaceX don’t have to pay a dime when they launch rockets through airspace that belongs to the American people, even though those launches strain our nation’s critical air traffic control system. Don’t give up on making for-profit companies like SpaceX pay their fair share for disrupting aviation and for consuming the limited resources of air traffic controllers.

Thanks for taking action.

For progress,

*That’s according to Forbes’ Real-Time Billionaires list. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: If there are so many billionaires whose fortunes are increasing so rapidly that there’s a “need” to track their wealth in real time, our priorities as a society may be out of whack.
