Hi,

Billionaires like Elon Musk have benefitted from a slew of tax breaks and
loopholes, including the Trump administration’s 2017 tax cuts.

Tesla paid no federal income taxes between 2018 and 2022.^1 Then, the
company turned around and approved a $56 billion pay package for CEO Elon
Musk.^2

Elon Musk takes advantage of the broken American tax system to get richer,
and has amassed tremendous power in corporate America and our political
system. Now, he’s putting millions into a right-wing Super PAC, so that he
can have even greater influence over our politics.^3 This is exactly why
Congress needs to END the Trump tax cuts and drastically increase taxes on
billionaires and corporations.

ultra-wealthy, and corporations pay their fair share.

Musk has so much political power because of the outrageous wealth he’s
acquired thanks to a broken American tax system that favors billionaires
and their corporations, like Tesla and SpaceX.

Congress can end the unlimited, runaway wealth of America’s billionaires
(which stands at $5.2 trillion).^4 Our lawmakers must take action to
address economic inequality, the dangerous level of power held by the
ultra-wealthy, and threats to our democracy.

billionaires like Elon Musk.

Thanks for taking action,

Joey and the team at Demand Progress
