A Billionaire Power Grab is Not Democracy: Statement by SiX Senior Director of Legislative Affairs, Ida V. Eskamani

"Instead of trying to cut costs for working families, Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, is using unprecedented illegal hacks to gut critical public programs working families depend on. The fight to stop this hostile takeover isn’t just about lawbreaking—it’s about protecting democracy itself. They’re not just pushing an extreme agenda—they’re bypassing the public entirely, deciding on their own what programs stay and what gets cut. And it’s working families who will pay the price – in their pocketbooks and their basic freedoms. Every person, no matter their income or background, deserves a government that works for them.

SiX will continue to work with state lawmakers on the frontlines of protecting democracy, ensuring that budgets reflect the needs of their communities—not the whims of the ultra-rich."
