Elon Musk's unilateral control over crucial government systems and sensitive data is an alarming overreach of a private entity. As an unelected individual lacking proper oversight and authorization, Musk's actions pose a severe threat to our democratic institutions and the privacy rights of American citizens. His access to systems handling Social Security, Medicare, and Treasury payments, along with classified information at agencies like OPM, is entirely unacceptable. I urge you to initiate a thorough investigation into Musk's activities and his company's potential mishandling of confidential data. Furthermore, all confirmation of President Trump's Cabinet nominees must be halted until this crisis is resolved and adequate safeguards are implemented to prevent further exploitation by private interests. Allowing billionaires like Musk to accumulate unchecked influence over the government undermines the will of the people and the integrity of our public institutions. Decisive action is needed to preserve our democracy and protect our citizens' sensitive information from illicit access and potential misuse. The consolidation of power in the hands of the wealthy elite cannot be permitted to continue unchallenged.
