Protect democratic institutions from billionaire's illegal power grab

To: Sen. Duckworth, Sen. Durbin, Rep. Bost

From: A constituent in Thompsonville, IL

February 28

Our nation's government programs and services are vital for the well-being of all Americans. Elon Musk's attempts to dismantle these critical systems through illegal and unconstitutional means pose a severe threat to our nation's security and the livelihoods of millions. As an unelected private citizen, Musk has no authority to access sensitive government data or shut down essential agencies like USAID, which plays a crucial role in promoting global peace and development. His actions undermine the foundations of our democracy and the separation of powers. We cannot allow a billionaire with conflicts of interest and unknown motivations to illegally seize control of government functions for personal gain. This brazen power grab jeopardizes the rights and privacy of American citizens and compromises our national interests. I urge you to take immediate action to protect our democratic institutions from this egregious overreach. Uphold the rule of law, safeguard the critical services citizens rely upon, and ensure the proper checks and balances are in place to prevent further abuses by private individuals. The integrity of our government must be defended against such blatant attempts at undermining it.
