Elon Musk was never on the ballot. Neither was project 2025. Time for you to stop Musk.
We the people did not vote for Elon Musk. We did not vote for the constitution to be suspended.
The illegality and chaos caused by Musk's in federal agencies and their computer systems and data is causing inefficiency. Except this isn’t Twitter. This is affecting organizations responsible for defending Americans - including our military.
Civilians are the backbone of acquiring funding and future planning for the Department of Defense. Military members literally move cities every 2-4 years and they change jobs every 9-18 months. Planning for defense acquisitions is a decades long cycle and even the budgeting part of this planning occurs in 5 year segments with a 3 year proposal/approval/implementation period. The military cannot fill the gaps. The budgeting systems are not intuitive, automated, or connected. The civilians are trained and they are stop-loss for knowledge. They’ve been kneecapped and so have federal agencies including the DoD. This is causing problems and shortfalls that will reverberate for decades. Damage has already been done. It’s time for damage control.
The cabinet staff nominated by Trump have demonstrated ignorance and/or disregard for the law and negligence for our rights, privacy, and safety.
Please stop DOGE until legislative oversight is established. Conduct investigations into Musk and his team. Require Musk to divest himself of personal holdings.
Stop presiding over the live dismemberment of federal agencies. This isn’t Twitter. This isn’t Tesla. Literal lives are at stake. Do your job. Keep your oath.
