John,

An Open AI executive who had previously worked in the Trump White House just called Social Security “fraud” that “must be dismantled.”¹

It’s no surprise that someone working at a massive tech company wants to pit generations against each other―anything to keep us fighting each other instead of following the money directly into his pocket.

AI oligarchs like Elon Musk are pouring millions into the midterm election, spreading misinformation so that they can continue to cling to power. We’ve got a plan to stop them. Rush a donation to Social Security Works to fight back!

It’s striking that, at the same time that AI corporations promise that unprecedented abundance is right around the corner, their leading figures are attacking the most popular program in the country. People pay into Social Security with every paycheck. And if AI oligarchs like Sam Altman, Elon Musk, and Open AI’s Dean Ball, who called it “fraud,” contributed to Social Security at the same rate as the rest of us, there would be no problem.

Here’s the truth: Social Security is facing a shortfall in 2032 because growing inequality has pushed virtually all income growth above the FICA cap. That’s why we’ve called to scrap that cap and make the ultra-wealthy pay their fair share.

We’re coming to a decision point, and the question will be unavoidable. Do we make the Elon Musks of the world pay in at the same rate as the rest of us, or do we cut benefits for people who count on Social Security?

These AI oligarchs want us to think that the problem is the people who worked hard and are trying to retire with dignity. We’re making it clear where the problem really is.

Rush a donation to get our campaign in front of voters in time for the midterms.
