While millions of Americans struggle to afford groceries, Elon Musk just scored a $9 billion government contract—and yes, it’s as outrageous as it sounds.

This is the same billionaire who:

• Let literal Nazis back on Twitter/X, then defended their “free speech”
• Allowed Nazi salutes to trend, while banning journalists who call it out
• Called Sen. Mark Kelly—a decorated astronaut and veteran—a traitor
• Spread far-right conspiracy theories and amplified election denialism
• Fired thousands of workers, crushed unions, and trashed public transit

And now he’s getting a massive taxpayer-funded payout—no strings attached.

This is what oligarchy looks like: Billionaires bankroll politicians, sabotage democracy, and then cash in. At Daily Kos, we’re exposing this corrupt system—but we can’t do it without you.

Will you chip in $5 or more to help us hold Musk and his enablers accountable?
