Petition: Social Security belongs to us – NOT Musk

We can't tolerate any disruption to this crucial safety net.

Add Your Name to tell Elon Musk's DOGE: hands off our Social Security! >> Pamela, As a student intern with Common Cause, I'm a few decades away from collecting Social Security. But when I eventually do, I want it to be reliable and hassle-free. That won't happen if we let Elon Musk get his way. At best, I'd have to wait hours in line and fight with confusing online forms just to access my earned benefits. And at worst, he could destroy the program entirely – all to line his pockets and those of his billionaire friends! [1] And who gets hurt the most? Everyday Americans like me who are counting on Social Security – present and future. We can't let that happen, Pamela. If you agree we can't tolerate any disruption to this crucial safety net, join me today in telling Congress: keep Elon Musk's hands off our Social Security! SIGN THE PETITION I want to be perfectly clear: if you're a current Social Security recipient, you don't need to panic – for now all payments are still going out as scheduled.   But Musk is using a tried-and-true playbook: first get people scared about something that isn't happening (i.e. undocumented people who don't and can't collect Social Security getting checks,) then use that fear to slash services and get rich at our expense. Here's the bottom line: if our members of Congress allow any attack on Social Security to go unaddressed, then right-wing billionaires like Musk – who've hoped for years to get rid of anything that doesn't make them richer – will use that foot in the door to unravel our entire safety net. If you agree we can't let that happen, will you add your name to demand Congress protect Social Security and STOP Trump and Musk's hostile billionaire takeover? Pamela, I don't want to wait until I'm collecting Social Security to start speaking out about it – and the American public can't afford to wait either. I hope you'll join me in protecting this essential service.
