Hi,
Elon Musk might be in hot water…again. A Tesla shareholder just sued Musk
for alleged insider trading.^1
The lawsuit accuses Musk of a $7.5 billion stock dump before potentially
disappointing Tesla production news went public.^2 That’s a lot of money
for one mega-rich CEO to have.
Musk has been able to get so rich in part because of the Trump tax cuts.
The Trump tax cuts (signed into law in 2017) gave corporations and the
ultra-wealthy even bigger tax breaks and even more loopholes to exploit.
Congress must change the tax code to work for the average person, not the
ultra-wealthy.

Not only did the Trump administration’s signature tax cut legislation
slash the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%, the Trump tax cuts were full
of loopholes that are allowing America’s largest corporations to pay WAY
less in taxes.^3
Those tax cuts are still in effect AND Republicans want to see even deeper
cuts to what millionaires, billionaires, and corporations pay in taxes.
The Trump tax cuts are a disaster for anyone who’s not Elon Musk, a
multi-millionaire or billionaire, or a massive corporation. They have
enough advantages already, including plenty of representatives in Congress
who are looking out for them. Working class Americans need lawmakers to
step up and say no to more GOP tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy and
corporations.

CEOs like Elon Musk.
