Elon Musk has declared war on Social Security―just like we warned when Trump put Musk in charge of finding $2 trillion in cuts to the federal budget.

Now that the election is in the past, other Republicans are saying the quiet part out loud. Rep. Richard McCormick of Georgia went on Fox Business and said:¹

"We're gonna have to have some hard decisions. We're gonna have to bring in the Democrats to talk about Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare. There's hundreds of billions of dollars to be saved, we just have to have the stomach to take those challenges on."

Social Security’s problem isn’t that benefits are too high―ask any senior! The problem is that billionaires want to steal the money and line their own pockets with it.

That’s why Musk is focused on preserving his own government contracts and tax handouts while entertaining the destruction of our Social Security system!

John,

Last night, Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) wrote a blueprint for destroying Social Security. And the world’s richest man, Elon Musk, who Donald Trump has put in charge of slashing our earned benefits, was persuaded:¹

Since Elon Musk’s commission was announced, we have warned that it would be used as a stalking horse to destroy Social Security and Medicare. Elon just confirmed that we were right. If we make sure every American knows the truth, we can fight back and win! Rush $7 today!

For 89 years, through war and peace, boom time and bust, health and pandemics, Social Security has never missed a single payment. Compared to the risky alternatives on Wall Street, Social Security is a rock of retirement security. If billionaires like Elon Musk paid into Social Security at the same rate as the rest of us on all of their income, we could expand benefits for everyone and pay them in full forever. But instead, Elon Musk wants to slash his own taxes even further and leave the rest of us on our own.

This is a declaration of war against seniors, people with disabilities, and the American public. The Republicans are coming for your Social Security, which they call a ‘nightmare.’ Elon Musk’s commission is a plot to destroy our Social Security by giving it to Wall Street executives — so that you get nothing and they get everything.

We’ve seen this play again and again. When Republicans destroyed defined benefit pension plans, they claimed that the market would be able to create amazing returns for everybody. Instead, workers got pennies while Wall Street managers got billions. That is always the plan.

Together, we can defeat Elon Musk, Mike Lee, and every other crooked politician who comes to steal the benefits we’ve earned. Chip in $7 today!
