John―yesterday we warned you that Elon Musk’s so-called “Department of Government Efficiency” was a smokescreen to slash Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid without public input.
Then, we learned that Trump was looking for ways to implement Elon’s proposed cuts without any input from Congress at all. That means that, despite capturing the House and Senate, Trump and Musk believe that their cuts will be too extreme even for Republican politicians!
Social Security Works was founded to defeat commissions like this. Our job just got harder―but we can still win if we stick together. Can you donate $7 or more today?

-- MICHAEL'S EMAIL --
John,
Donald Trump just announced a new initiative to slash Social Security and Medicare―and he’s hiding behind Elon Musk to do it.
The so-called “Department of Government Efficiency,” which will be co-chaired by MAGA Megadonor Elon Musk and failed billionaire Presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, is the latest in a long line of plots from the ultra-rich to set up a closed-door fast-track process for cuts to Social Security and Medicare.
Donald Trump ran as a protector of Social Security―but his own Vice President JD Vance has specifically singled out Social Security as a target for Elon and Vivek’s new commission!1
Social Security Works was founded to defeat commissions like the Musk-Ramaswamy one. We beat Bowles-Simpson. We beat the Supercommittee. We can beat this one too―but only with your help. Can you donate $7 or more today?
If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your secure donation will go through immediately:
Remember: No one voted to cut Social Security. No one voted to cut Medicare. And no one voted for higher drug prices.
Musk’s stated goal, though, is to slash one-third of government spending, which is essentially impossible without cutting Social Security, Medicare, or Medicaid. We got a sneak preview of where Vivek Ramaswamy stood when he ran for president and lamented that George W. Bush’s privatization scheme failed.
If we don’t stop them, these billionaires will destroy our earned benefits to line their own pockets and the pockets of Trump’s Wall Street donors!
Elon Musk is the wealthiest man in the world and he’s slashing our country to ribbons in order to avoid paying his fair share of taxes. We cannot let that happen.
We can win this fight―but only if we fight together. Can you donate $7 to save Social Security from Elon Musk’s fiscal commission?
Thank you,
Michael Phelan
