It was heartbreaking to write this op-ed today in Rolling Stone about my old friend…who is now Elon Musk's right-hand man firing thousands of people.
Reactions so far:
"This article is soul crushing."
"You blew my mind with this article."
"Sorry for the loss of your friendship…it’s clear that you mourn for him."
You can read it on Rolling Stone here. To put this into the national conversation, will you consider sharing it on Facebook, on BlueSky, on Threads, and (lastly and leastly) on Twitter?

GOOD NEWS. The PCCC’s work fighting back against Elon Musk’s DOGE (and pushing Democrats to fight harder against Donald Trump) have been covered this past week in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Politico, NBC News, Axios, The Hill, and even international press!
