Hi,
Elon Musk used his immense wealth and power to help elect Donald Trump. At
the same time, he’s leading a company (SpaceX) that’s gaining a dangerous
amount of power as a U.S. defense contractor.^1
Once Musk has a role in the Trump admin, he may very well be “regulating”
the agencies who are in charge of regulating his own companies and doling
out billions of dollars of federal contracts.^2
Before Trump takes power, the Biden administration must cut off Elon
Musk’s billions in federal defense contracts.

contracts with Elon Musk’s companies!

Since 2020, Elon Musk’s SpaceX has secured 22 space missions from the
Pentagon worth $2.5 billion.^3 Musk’s company is currently competing with
other corporate giants for even more defense contracts.
Now, under Trump, Musk plans to cut government spending while in charge of
“reducing government waste and needles regulation.”^4
Our taxpayer dollars shouldn’t be helping to enrich a man readying to
entangle himself in massive conflicts of interest. End Musk’s defense
contracts now!

before it’s too late.
Thanks for taking action,
