Hi, team, it’s Ben.
Trump vs Musk is like watching two rubbery movie monsters fighting. The problem is, it’s real life, and the tiny people being squashed underfoot aren’t special effects—they’re us.
Why is Musk attacking Trump over the Giant Horrible Bill? Because it doesn’t go far
enough. He wants to cut health care even more. Trump’s bill would take health care away from 10.9 million people, lead to tens of thousands of deaths a year, cost jobs, shutter small businesses, and transfer massive wealth from poor and working-class Americans to the ultra-rich.
This Giant Horrible Bill is pure reverse Robin Hood: steal from the poor and give to the rich. Or you could call it pillaging. It’s obscene.
In the House, the bill passed by one vote. That means that every Republican who voted for the bill cast the deciding vote. All of this death, destruction, and plunder is on them.
If we want to keep the pressure on the MAGA GOP, we need to continue building sustained, long-term grassroots support. Will you help WisDems keep up the fight by donating $25 right now? »

Elon Musk, whose viciousness at DOGE likely already caused hundreds of thousands of deaths, wishes the bill was even worse. Don’t think for a second he’s now on the side of the angels.
Musk’s not alone—Sen. Ron Johnson has the same goal and has even said he understands Musk’s frustrations. Ron Johnson’s allies in the House—Reps. Bryan Steil and Tom Tiffany—have both said they support his efforts, while Derrick Van Orden wants to work with Johnson on the legislation. That can only mean one thing: they all support inflicting even more pain on Wisconsin.
You can help WisDems hold Republicans—from Ron Johnson to house malefactors like Derrick Van Orden—accountable by fueling our grassroots efforts. Won’t you donate $25 now to keep the heat on the GOP? »
Even if Musk’s reasons are wrong, he’s right to call the bill a “disgusting abomination.”
By all means, break out the popcorn as we watch Musk and Trump duke it out. Take pride in the fact that, as the
Wall Street Journal just reminded readers, Wisconsin voters and volunteers and supporters of Susan Crawford helped make this happen.
But then, as the popcorn digests, get your protest signs ready, donate to WisDems, call your Republican members of Congress at 202-224-3121, and get ready to raise your voice again—to save lives by killing this bill. Melt the phones.
Thank you, friend.
Ben Wikler
WisDems Chair
