Protect democracy from Musk's unconstitutional overreach

To: Sen. Schiff, Sen. Padilla

From: A constituent in Elk Grove, CA

February 6, 2025

I am extremely troubled by Elon Musk's apparent illegal and unconstitutional actions of raiding federal agencies and attempting to shut down USAID. As an unelected private citizen with massive conflicts of interest, I find it appalling that Musk would deem himself qualified to access sensitive government data on American citizens or take control of vital national security functions. His attacks feel like a direct undermining of our rights, privacy, and democratic institutions. This crisis demands decisive action in my view to block Musk from gaining any further unfettered access to federal systems and information. Allowing an unaccountable billionaire to illegally seize control of government operations seems like an egregious violation of the public trust that jeopardizes national security. I believe immediate steps must be taken to revoke Musk's access, investigate the extent of the breach, and reinforce safeguards to prevent any future unconstitutional raids on government agencies. Protecting American democracy from such brazen attacks is paramount in my opinion.
