I am writing to express my deep concern regarding recent reports that Elon Musk and his unelected, unauthorized team have gained access to the U.S. Treasury's federal payment system, which contains highly sensitive financial and personal data, including Social Security numbers for millions of Americans. This egregious breach of government security and public trust demands immediate action. As a private citizen with no elected or appointed government position, Musk has no legal authority to access, control, or manipulate this critical infrastructure. Reports indicate that his team has sidelined government employees, locked officials out of their systems, and gained access to confidential financial data without proper clearance. Such actions not only compromise national security but also violate multiple federal laws designed to protect citizens' private information. I urge you to: 1. Immediately remove Musk and his unauthorized team from the Treasury and USAID systems and ensure that only properly vetted and cleared officials have access. 2. Investigate the extent of data infiltration to determine whether Social Security numbers and financial information for millions of Americans have been accessed or stolen. 3. Hold Musk and his team legally accountable for any breaches of privacy, unauthorized access, and potential identity theft risks posed to American citizens. 4. Impose the full penalty of the law, including fines of $1,000 per unauthorized disclosure of Social Security numbers, which could amount to over $500 billion if every American's data has been compromised. 5. Ensure transparency in the investigation so that the American people know the full extent of this breach and what steps are being taken to prevent such abuses in the future. No private individual—no matter how wealthy or influential—should have unchecked access to government financial systems or the personal data of American citizens. If this is allowed to continue unchallenged, it sets a dangerous precedent for future abuses of power. I implore you to act swiftly and decisively to hold those responsible accountable and to protect the integrity of our government institutions. I appreciate your attention to this urgent matter and look forward to your response on how you plan to address these violations.
