Hi,

Elon Musk is gutting public services and undermining our democracy while
reaping billions in federal funding for his own companies.

Musk’s companies have already received some $38 billion in federal
government money — but that’s still not enough for Elon. Starlink is now
getting a chunk of a $42.5 billion government program to provide rural
broadband, and is also receiving FAA money, after DOGE helped hobble the
air safety agency. SpaceX’s tens of billions in government contracts are
slated to get a boost with the help of NASA and the Defense Department.^1

This is blatant corruption. But a new bill, S. 1365, would finally ban
billionaire insiders like Musk from pocketing public funds.^2

government!

Under this new anti-corruption bill, if a high ranking federal employee
owns a significant share of a company, that company would be banned from
receiving payment or contracts from the federal government.

That means billionaires like Musk would be barred from exploiting their
government roles for personal profit. It’s basic ethics, and this kind of
law already exists for members of Congress.

Without this bill, Musk will continue sabotaging public services while
bringing in billions more for SpaceX, Starlink, and Tesla. The American
people demand an end to this corruption.
