[ [link removed] ]Will you sign the petition calling on the Department of Defense to
review its contracts with Elon Musk?

Dear MoveOn member,

Tech billionaire Elon Musk has made it abundantly clear he wants Donald
Trump to win.

And he's doing everything he can to make it happen.

From hosting Trump on X (formerly Twitter) for a conversation on Monday
where he gave him a platform of more than 1 million listeners to spew lies
and sexist, xenophobic rants.^1

To initially committing to give $45 million a month to Trump's campaign
and even co-founding a Super PAC with his ultrarich friends, which is now
being investigated in two states for violations in its attempt to
"register" its website's users to vote. ^2,3

It's clear Musk is all-in for Trump.

And while he is well within his rights to support Trump, our tax dollars
shouldn't go toward lining Musk's pockets when he continues to repeatedly
undermine faith in our election system by constantly spreading voter
misinformation.^4,5

Add your name to demand that the Department of Defense (DOD) review its
contracts with Elon Musk.

Musk has made it abundantly clear that he is willing to go to any length
to chip away faith in our election system in order to tip the scales
politically and elect Trump.

He repeatedly claims that foreigners are being flown in to commit voter
fraud—a well-debunked lie.^6

He called on the elimination of electronic voting for dubious reasons.^7

He publicly avows his support of right-wing conspiracy theorists and
influencers who have made clear their distrust in our political system and
democracy.^8

Enough is enough. Our government shouldn't be funding the same
conspiracist who is actively undermining its own integrity. [ [link removed] ]Add your
name now.

Let's be clear: It's not just us who recognize how problematic it is that
billions of our tax dollars are being given to Elon Musk. In fact, some
members of Congress have publicly shared these concerns.^9

Now it's time for the DOD to listen. Together, we can make sure they do.

[ [link removed] ]Add your name to tell the Department of Defense to reevaluate its
contracts with Elon Musk.

Thanks for all you do.

Want to support MoveOn? The MAGA right is declaring war, and Project 2025
is their battle plan. Project 2025 threatens our rights, attacks
communities of color, hurts middle- and working-class families, and
undermines our democracy. But we will not back down or let Trump steamroll
our nation.

Will you start a monthly donation to power and sustain MoveOn's election
plan, stop Trump, and ensure Project 2025 is never enacted?



[ [link removed] ]Yes, I'll chip in $5 a month.

[ [link removed] ]No, I'm sorry, I can't make a monthly donation.
