Regulate tech billionaires to safeguard democracy and public interest
To: Sen. Budd, Rep. Knott, Sen. Tillis
From: A constituent in Benson, NC
February 5
Government oversight and regulation are crucial to maintain accountability and prevent unchecked power from amassing in the hands of private individuals or corporations. Allowing billionaires like Elon Musk to operate without appropriate checks and balances poses risks to democratic principles and the public interest. We need stronger laws and enforcement mechanisms to ensure no single entity can unduly influence or undermine institutions that are meant to serve all citizens equitably. Strengthening governance frameworks is essential to protect the rights and wellbeing of the populace in an era of concentrated wealth and technological capabilities.
