Defund Musk. Recent reports detail how combat access to Starlink satellite internet was abruptly restricted for Ukrainian soldiers—jeopardizing critical military operations and putting lives at risk. It is unconscionable that a vital national security lifeline can be weaponized & compromised by an unelected billionaire. Elon Musk has repeatedly shown that he does not value global stability, human life, or democratic liberty. Yet, his enterprises continue to benefit from substantial U.S. taxpayer-funded government contracts and subsidies, as well as special treatment by this administration. Stop subsidizing and enriching Elon Musk, a toxic actor who undermines our republic, our allies, and geopolitical security. Cut off financial support and government backing for Elon Musk and his corporations. Remove his access to sensitive information. Nationalize Starlink. Ensure our public funds are never again used to elevate an autocratic corporate villain to powerful roles in our government.
