Hi,
Elon Musk is on pace to become the world’s first trillionaire.^1 Yes,
trillionaire.
Musk has made his fortune as the head of companies that don’t pay their
fair share of taxes. He’s taken advantage of an American tax system full
of loopholes for the wealthy. And with his billions, he’s gained a
tremendous amount of power.
While Musk funds a right-wing super PAC^2 and Trump offers Musk a role in
the White House,^3 Congress must protect taxpayers and our democracy by
taxing billionaires before they become trillionaires.

other powerful billionaires become trillionaires.

Wealth inequality in America is completely out of control. Musk having a
role in the White House to “reduce waste and needless government
regulation”^4 will only make it worse.
“Reducing waste” is what Republicans say when they want to slash Medicare
and Social Security benefits while protecting corporate profits and tax
breaks for the rich. When the GOP talks about “needless government
regulation,” they’re talking about environmental protections, labor
rights, and food safety. It’s a disgrace — just like Musk’s extraordinary
wealth.
Musk doesn’t belong in our government. He should have LESS power, not
more. That’s why Congress needs to tax Elon Musk and the rest of the
billionaires with too much influence in America.

like Elon Musk!
