Elon Musk made his $38 billion fortune off of government contracts and then used his billions to help elect Trump. Now, he's looking for a return on investment on the backs of American families.
He's a walking case study of why we need to overturn Citizens United.

Nothing screams government efficiency more than accidentally firing government workers and having to spend more money and resources to rehire them.

Imagine saying this about an agency that has helped millions of people around the world avoid malaria, obtain clean water, and gain access to food & health care. Especially when you’re the world’s richest man & your net worth is something like 20 times this agency’s annual budget. What a foul soul.

Insanity: The deportation flights Trump used military jets for—that Mexico refused to accept—cost the U.S. up to $852,000 per flight to attempt to deport just 80 migrants at a time.
To compare, flights directly chartered by Immigration and Customs Enforcement cost just $8,577.
