It’s Time To Fight Back Against Musk’s Election Graft!

Elon Musk isn't buying the presidential election for fun. As reported recently by The Lever, he may be setting himself up for what could be the largest tax break in history if he follows through with his plan to join a second Trump administration. Do you think billionaires like Musk should be able to buy our elections and profit off them like this? SIGN NOW: Call on Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Majority Leader Steve Scalise to reintroduce the "No Windfalls for Government Service Act" to end this little-known practice and ensure billionaires like Musk can't receive historic tax breaks for "government service." Repeatedly introduced in Congress, the No Windfalls for Government Services Act would limit the amount of taxes billionaires like Musk can indefinitely defer if they are appointed to government positions and divest from business holdings to comply with ethics rules. Musk's companies currently have billions of dollars of government contracts that could be regulated or expanded by a new government department potentially headed by Musk. When you sign this open letter pushing for the No Windfalls for Government Services Act, you'll gain access to The Lever's free investigative reports as well as the first season of Master Plan, the award-winning new investigative audio series that details the complete history of the 50-year plot by corporate interests and the ultra-powerful to steal our democracy, leading to Musk's current actions. The knowledge contained in this series gives us the ability to fight back and reclaim our collective power. You can unsubscribe at any time.
