Tell President Trump and Elon Musk: HANDS OFF OUR SOCIAL SECURITY
Elon Musk's DOGE (the "so-called" Department of Government Efficiency), only cares about taking money from everyday people to line the pockets of himself and his billionaire buddies. Despite President Trump’s many campaign promises to serve the American people, he is not only allowing but endorsing Musk coming after your hard-earned Social Security benefits.
Since Trump's inauguration day, Elon Musk has been running amok to take away resources from programs like cancer and health care research, SNAP, Medicaid and Medicare and more. In just the last few weeks, Musk has used his platform on X to spread outrageous lies about Social Security to frame his pro-billionaire agenda as a righteous attack.
Congress, on both sides of the aisle, needs to fight back against the Trump administration's latest attempt to steal our well-earned social security. TELL TRUMP AND ELON MUSK: HANDS OFF OUR SOCIAL SECURITY!
Why is this important?
Trump is giving Elon Musk the power to steal benefits that people earned. He's using the standard MAGA Republican playbook: Make an issue out of a non-issue, cause chaos, and then get rid of it and claim the win.
In this case, he makes up stories about "abuse and waste" and then steals your benefits to claim that he is simply cutting waste.

Just last week, Musk talked to reporters in the Oval Office to try to convince the public that the Social Security system is full of fraud, especially when he said, “just cursory examination of Social Security and we’ve got people in there that are 150 years old.”
Now we're just making things up.
Social Security benefits are given to workers who have put in decades of their lives into their work and those people have earned the right to access the promise of Social Security afforded to all citizens during their elder years.
The only reason that Elon Musk has access to the Treasury’s payments system is because Donald Trump has given him the ability to do whatever he wants. Thus, Elon had access to the Social Security numbers of every federal worker and Social Security beneficiary. He also had access to our bank account numbers, and other sensitive, private information. Enough is enough.
