TELL CONGRESS: Musk is mulling how many trillions DOGE should cut from the
government services countless Americans rely on — like Medicare and Social
Security. He’s worth $400 billion and it won’t impact him or his
billionaire friends one bit. Sign the petition: Stop Musk’s devastating
DOGE cuts!

Hi,

Musk said that slashing $2 trillion from the federal government’s budget
for programs like Medicare and Social Security would be “the best-case
outcome.” He’d settle for $1 trillion in cuts though, saying such historic
cuts to public services would be “epic.”^1

An unelected man worth $400 billion^2 shouldn’t have the power to gut
everything from healthcare to public education. Yet, that’s exactly what’s
happening as Musk heads Trump’s new “Department of Government Efficiency”
(DOGE) — unless we pressure Congress to stop it.

Social Security, Medicare, and other critical government programs from
trillions in cuts.

Every public program and federal agency that benefits the people is on the
chopping block as part of Musk’s dangerous right-wing project: Medicare,
Social Security, Medicaid, veterans’ benefits, clean energy subsidies, ACA
funding, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, labor protection
enforcement, and much, much more.

He promises his cuts will create “hardship” for Americans,^3 but we know
millionaires and billionaires won’t suffer. Those facing hardship will be
working people, seniors reliant on the social safety net, public school
teachers, people on Medicaid, and so many others.

The rich will get richer while everyone else suffers unless Congress stops
reckless DOGE cuts.

“Department of Government Efficiency.”
