I am writing tonight to beg you to stop Elon Musk and his modern-day thugs from illegally ripping our government apart. In the past 48 hours, Musk - not even a government employee! - and his cronies have taken control of key US government data systems, including ones that control payments to individual Americans and many, many others. As I write this, he is on a Twitter Space bragging about shutting down USAID - an independent government agency that Congress created and funded. This is unacceptable. The very least we can expect is that our President and his team follow the law in executing their policies. Please take whatever action is necessary to stop this IMMEDIATELY.
