I am writing to express my deep concern about the actions of Elon Musk, specifically his role in the Department of Government Efficiency. As reported, Musk's actions have raised significant questions about his authority, potential conflicts of interest, and violations of privacy laws. The things this administration is allowing him to do is wholly unconstititional. Musk's involvement in shutting down or interfering with the work of agencies established and funded by Congress is alarming. His actions, including canceling government contracts and terminating leases, seem to exceed the mandate granted by the executive order. Furthermore, his access to U.S. Treasury Department payment systems to search for fraud raises concerns about potential violations of the Federal Information Security Management Act, the Privacy Act, and section 6103 of the Internal Revenue Service code. There is also a concern for conflicts of interest- Musk earns money from government contracts and it would not be surprising if he used this to line his and the pockets of the top 1% in the country. I urge you to take immediate action to address these concerns. It is essential to ensure that any individual with significant influence over government operations is held accountable for their actions and complies with the Constitution and federal laws. I request that you: - *Conduct a thorough investigation*: Into Musk's actions and determine whether they violate any laws or constitutional provisions. - *Establish clear guidelines*: For special government employees like Musk to ensure they understand their roles, responsibilities, and limitations. - *Hold hearings*: To gather more information about Musk's involvement in government operations and potential conflicts of interest. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to hearing about the actions you will take to address these concerns. Remember, you represent the people, not the billionaires and corporations that run this country.
