guys don't let the massive scandal about a billionaire buying influence in the current administration distract from our core message, which is that billionaires are bad.
PSA: Do not let the Musk & Trump feud distract you from the fact that both want to rob us of basic healthcare, civil rights, & economic security—all while lining the pockets of billionaires.
This childish feud is a distraction. Stay focused on ensuring we stop this horrific bill from becoming law.
