John,
If Wall Street pays for Elon Musk’s Slash & Burn Commission, which aims to slash Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid, Wall Street expects something in return.
That something is the culmination of Wall Street's long-held desire to take Social Security’s nearly $3 trillion surplus and gamble it on the stock market, extracting fees all the way.
We can defeat Elon Musk’s Slash & Burn Commission. But only if we stick together. Can you rush a donation today?

-- MICHAEL'S EMAIL --
John,
Donald Trump has empowered Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to run a commission to slash $2 trillion from the federal budget―which is virtually impossible without cutting Social Security, Medicare, or Medicaid.
As more details come out, some reports suggest that Musk’s commission could be privately funded by Wall Street,1 not the government, which raises serious questions about who Musk will be working for.
Wall Street has been salivating at taking over Social Security for nearly a century. They think Musk will be the one to give it to them. But Social Security Works can stop it―and save Social Security from Elon Musk and Donald Trump. Can you rush a donation today?
This is what we were built for.
Social Security Works was founded at the beginning of the Obama administration, as Wall Street-funded politicians created the Bowles-Simpson Commission, which had a similar mandate to slash the deficit at any cost.
The truth is, no one voted to cut Social Security, Medicare, or Medicaid. Pew just released their post-election survey2 which found that 77% of Donald Trump supporters say that Social Security should not be reduced in any way:
Musk and Trump are already making it clear that they will try to enact their plutocratic agenda in spite of public approval, not because of it. That’s why they’re chasing dollars from Wall Street―that’s who they’re really working for. So it’s up to us to stop them.
Can you rush a donation to protect Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid from Donald Trump and Elon Musk?
