John,
Nearly half of the Pentagon’s $1 trillion budget flows into the pockets of defense contractors, including the billions funneled into Elon Musk's companies like SpaceX and Starlink.
Musk is playing a dangerous game with democracy as he uses his taxpayer-funded wealth to turn his social media platform, X (formerly Twitter), into a pro-Trump propaganda machine.
This isn’t about business or free speech. Musk has injected his billions into the political arena, supporting pro-Trump Super PACs, sitting in strategy meetings, and even giving platforms to white supremacists on X.
It’s clear that the Pentagon’s billion-dollar deals with Musk must stop. Let’s be clear: Musk’s enterprises, including SpaceX and Starlink, should no longer be subsidized by the American people while he uses these funds to undermine democratic institutions and promote a second term for Trump.
Tell the Pentagon to stop awarding contracts to companies like SpaceX and Starlink, whose CEO is using his wealth and influence to attack democracy.
The stakes couldn’t be higher. Musk has publicly endorsed Trump on X, fueling conspiracy theories and giving voice to far-right extremists, all while profiting from government contracts.
Every new contract to Musk’s companies is another step toward a darker future, where billionaires manipulate our political systems unchecked.
His financial support of pro-Trump PACs and direct donations to the National Republican Congressional Committee reveal a dangerous political agenda. Musk isn't just profiting off American tax dollars, he's using them to influence elections.
We cannot let this continue. By pressuring Congress to halt Pentagon contracts to Musk’s companies, we can stop this anti-democratic power grab. Our tax dollars should be spent protecting democracy, not funding the ambitions of an oligarch.
It’s time to take a stand. Tell the Pentagon to stop funding Elon Musk’s ventures until he ceases his political meddling and stops undermining our democracy.
Together, we can ensure that the Pentagon’s budget supports our values, not one man’s anti-democratic empire.
