Dear John,
Elon Musk just revealed the truth about what he plans to do with his so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
Gut Social Security and Medicare.
Earlier this week, Musk re-tweeted a series of posts by Senator Mike Lee, who called Social Security a “nightmare” and called for its dismantling.
“Interesting thread,” Musk added.
Then on Thursday, Musk and his “DOGE” co-chair Vivek Ramaswamy went to Capitol Hill to discuss their plans, and Republican lawmakers immediately announced that “everything is on the table,” including cutting Social Security and Medicare.
I personally served as a Social Security trustee, and the entire team here at Inequality Media will do everything in our power to stop Musk’s plan to destroy these vital programs. But we need your help.

During the campaign, Musk said he would cut $2 trillion — or about 30% — of the entire federal budget. There’s no possible way to do that without devastating cuts to Social Security and Medicare.
Now Trump has put Musk in charge of a phony government agency called the Department of Government Efficiency to recommend a vast swath of cuts to federal programs.
Musk’s DOGE co-chair Vivek Ramaswamy has been even more explicit about his plans, saying in a CNBC interview on Wednesday that “there are hundreds of billions of dollars of savings to extract” from Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.
Elon Musk spent $277 million to elect Trump. This is what he bought: the power to gut Social Security and Medicare and give himself more tax cuts and tens of billions in government contracts.
We can’t let it happen — and we’re counting on your support to help power our efforts to educate the public and stop Elon Musk.
With your help, we will use our massive reach across social media to alert the public about what Trump and Musk are proposing and call out the Republican lies about Social Security. We need to speak directly to the working people who trusted Trump and expose the self-dealing and corruption driving this presidency. And we must help mobilize people in key states and districts to contact their members of Congress and hold Republicans accountable if they move forward with these attacks.
Social Security is one of the most successful and popular government programs of all time. It won’t be easy, but this is a fight we can win — if we fight together.
