When Elon Musk isn’t using his immense wealth to fund right-wing super PACs, he’s leading a company that’s gaining a dangerous amount of power as a U.S. defense contractor.1
Elon Musk’s SpaceX has already secured 22 space missions from the Pentagon worth $2.5 billion.2 Musk’s company is currently competing with other corporate giants for even more defense contracts.
Musk is already too powerful. We must call on our government to stop fueling his riches and growing influence over our political system.
Sign the petition: Tell the Defense Department, no more defense contracts for Musk and SpaceX!
These massive defense contracts mean our taxpayer money is going straight to Musk’s bottom line — added on top of the $56 billion compensation package Musk just received from Tesla.
Musk shouldn’t be getting so much of our taxpayer money, and shouldn’t have so much influence in our government or defense systems.
Add your name: No more defense contracts for Elon Musk!
Thanks for taking action,
Joey and the team at Demand Progress
