AFSCME’s Saunders: ‘The biggest scheme of all time is Elon Musk’s takeover of the federal government’
WASHINGTON – AFSCME President Lee Saunders released the following statement after Elon Musk called Social Security ‘the biggest Ponzi scheme of all time’:
“The biggest scheme of all time is Elon Musk’s hostile takeover of the American government, a takeover in which the richest man in the world is somehow allowed to make decisions on a whim that hurt working people and seniors all to fund tax breaks for himself and his fellow billionaires. Their only goal is to rob working people of the Social Security benefits we have earned, so they can make themselves even richer. This administration is only making fraud and waste easier to accomplish by firing the inspectors general whose job it is to audit the government and firing the qualified professionals who actually know how government works. It’s all part of their scheme to continue to steal power and wealth from working people and seniors. But we know Social Security is a trust that we’ve paid into, and we’re not going to let Elon Musk or any unelected billionaire take it away from us.”
