Today, new reporting revealed that President Trump plans to rid himself of Elon Musk in the coming weeks as he proves himself to be a liability. Groundwork Collaborative’s Executive Director Lindsay Owens reacted with the following statement:
“The American people have gotten a crash course in what happens when the richest man in the world gets the keys to our country. Musk’s threat to Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid has pushed consumer confidence to new lows. Businesses are pulling back on investments, and markets have plunged. Americans can now celebrate Musk’s exit.
“But Musk’s ouster is only the first step in achieving true liberation. He is a symptom of a broader disease, which is that billionaires are tightening their grip on our democracy. To cure the disease, we must put our power back in the hands of the people.”
