SIGN NOW: Elon Musk is back – and using his money and followers to pressure Congress to crush your right to vote. Tell Congress to REJECT this blatant abuse of power >>
John, just months after his very public split with Donald Trump, Elon Musk is already back in GOP politics – spending big to push a bill that would deny millions of Americans our right to vote.
That’s right: Musk just went on X and urged his 233 million followers to pressure Republicans to pass an even more extreme version of the so-called “SAVE Act.” [1]
This disastrous bill would make ordinary Americans jump through hoops just to vote – blocking millions of women, seniors, students, and rural voters from casting a ballot. [2]
And Musk isn’t just using his followers. He’s spending at least $10 million dollars to support Republican candidates for Congress this year [3] – sending a not-so-subtle signal that if they want his money, they need to fall in line.
Make no mistake – he's seeing the same polls you and I are about how deeply unpopular Trump and Republicans in Congress are. They think they can’t win free and fair elections – so their plan is to make voting harder for the people who would vote them out of power.
We must show Congress that We The People are paying attention and demanding they REJECT Elon Musk and protect our freedom to vote. Add your name to our petition >>
Musk is pushing for an even more extreme version of the SAVE Act. [4] Here’s how it would put your vote at risk:
-
Prove your citizenship – again: Even if you’re a lifelong voter, if you move across town, change your last name when getting married, or switch parties, you’d have to provide your passport or birth certificate with your current legal name – in person at your local elections office – just to stay registered.
If Congress allows Musk to waltz back in and dismantle our democracy, what kind of message does it send to the average voter?
We’ve all seen what happens when these decisions are made with money, not people, in mind. The people in the most vulnerable positions lose power and are forgotten. It’s time to remind Congress that they work for US – not the billionaire class.
This is a moment to step up for democracy. Add your name to tell Congress to REJECT Elon Musk’s anti-voter SAVE Act now.
Thanks for all you do,
The team at Common Cause
