John,
This year’s Pentagon budget topline is estimated to be nearly one TRILLION dollars. Around half of that amount will go straight into the pockets of military defense contracting companies, like those owned by Elon Must — just as it has for the past few years.
Right now, our American tax dollars fund Elon Musk’s Spacex Starlink and Starshield satellites. Musk has already profited from the Pentagon’s expenditures and gained enormous political and social power.
In recent years, Elon Musk has used Starlink to disrupt Ukraine's military communications, bought Twitter and bent its rules to undermine democratic processes worldwide, and created a PAC where he's dumping tens of millions of dollars to help Donald Trump and other MAGA Republicans. Musk wants to re-elect Donald Trump and secure a cabinet position in exchange for all his spending.
We can’t allow this corruption to continue. We can’t let Elon Musk and other billionaires leverage their political contacts and power to gain more influence and line their pockets.
The Pentagon must be held accountable by both Congress and American people. They need to hear from us now. Join us and add your name to tell Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin to stop funding Elon Musk’s anti-democracy power grab.
Thank you,
Democratic Values
