Elon Musk is overstepping his bounds and exerting undue influence over our government through his "DOGE" advisory role. This arrangement grants an unelected billionaire access to the inner workings of the administration, without being subject to ethical standards or accountability to the American people. Musk's meddling has enabled destructive policies that undermine public services and the social safety net for the benefit of the wealthy elite. His empowerment by President Trump is an affront to democracy. Musk must be immediately removed from any position of influence within the government to restore power to the people and prevent further erosion of democratic principles. Our nation deserves governance by elected representatives answerable to citizens, not the whims of a privileged plutocrat like Musk. His dangerous overreach enabled by this administration cannot continue.
