Elon Musk Is Coming for Your Social Security: Here’s How We Stop Him

It’s Happened: Trump Just Gave a Foreign-Born Billionaire Access to Our Most Sensitive Data — What Could Possibly Go Wrong?

Just recently, Donald Trump made a decision that should send shockwaves through every single American household. He granted access to Elon Musk—the multi-billionaire, oligarch-tech-bro who sees the world through a lens of privilege—into the United States Treasury Department. Yes, you read that right. The very division that manages nearly $6 trillion—trillions that fund the lifeblood of programs like Social Security, pay government salaries, and allocate money to programs voted on by Congress.

This is not just a troubling move; this is a call to sound the alarms.

Elon Musk, the tech mogul with an ego as big as his fortune, has made his stance crystal clear: He wants to slash government spending. At first glance, that might sound appealing to some. After all, who wouldn’t want to see “inefficiencies” rooted out? But here’s the problem: Musk doesn’t know, or worse, he doesn’t care about the needs of working-class Americans. A multi-billionaire deciding what constitutes "ineffective" spending is absurd. It’s completely out of touch.

What Musk will label as "wasteful" will likely be your Social Security. The program that’s kept millions of seniors, veterans, and disabled Americans afloat for generations will be in the crosshairs. Musk will tell you that tax cuts for his billionaire pals are "effective spending"—while your hard-earned benefits? "Inefficient."

But it gets worse.

Musk has already gone on record saying that he wants to cut veterans' healthcare benefits. Yes, you read that right. He said, “We can and should save hundreds of billions each year by defunding government programs that Congress no longer authorizes.” And guess what? Veterans' medical services are directly in that crossfire.

Social Security? It’s next.

So here we are. A billionaire in the halls of power, and a cadre of Republicans itching to gut Social Security. It’s a dangerous moment for America, one that could determine the future of millions who depend on Social Security to survive.

But here’s where the story takes a turn.

While these extremists push their dangerous agenda to strip away Social Security, we have a chance—a real chance—to push back. President Biden has appointed a slate of justices who will stand between us and the forces trying to dismantle our safety net. These justices are ready to defend Social Security in the courts, from circuit to circuit, giving us the timewe need to reclaim our democracy and fight for the programs that keep us all secure.

And that’s where you come in.

This fight is personal—not just for me, but for every single American who depends on Social Security, who believes in a future where we don’t have to fight for the basic right to live with dignity. The mission is clear: We must take back the House and the Senate and ensure that Social Security is protected for generations to come. We must defend the right to choose, the right to vote, and the right to join a union.

This is not just about politics. This is about people. It’s about your grandparents. Your parents. Your children. Your neighbors. This is a fight for the soul of America.

Nobody can fight this alone.
