Is your cell phone plan funding Elon Musk? If you’re a T-Mobile customer, it might be. When T-Mobile launches its “T-Satellite” program this July in partnership with Elon’s Starlink service, Musk stands to gain billions.
This is a dangerous consolidation of power. Elon Musk’s vision for the world has meant more deportations, more people in cages, and more people being pushed into poverty, all while he profits from controlling the very systems that keep us connected and our local economies running.
What makes this deal alarming is that it anchors vital cell service in remote areas to the richest and most politically extreme men alive. If T-Mobile proceeds, it is effectively handing Musk the power to hold people’s basic connectivity hostage – while he bankrolls his authoritarian agenda.
So, we’re demanding that T-Mobile live up to its pledge to be “an even greater force for good” and cut ties with Elon Musk. Sign our petition now!
How will Musk use the money he makes from his deal with T-Mobile? Over the past few years, he’s spent nearly half a billion dollars to elect politicians who are slashing our benefits, destroying our federal government and attacking our democracy.
Musk is using the influence he bought to further enrich himself. Musk is working to siphon public funds from high-quality broadband into Starlink, destroying thousands of good union jobs. The Trump administration has pressured foreign countries to approve Starlink service.
By contracting with Starlink, T-Mobile is funding Elon Musk’s attacks on democracy, his assault on working people and his support of far-right authoritarian governments around the world.
Boycotts work. Ever since Target folded to Trump, the corporation’s foot traffic and revenues have dropped. Protests have done “unprecedented brand damage” to Tesla, and cost Musk tens of billions.
We’re coming together to send a clear message to corporate America: we won’t support companies that side with oligarchs and authoritarians. Sign our petition now!
