<message> The consolidation of power by Elon Musk and President Trump over the Treasury Department's payment systems is an alarming overreach that undermines democratic norms and threatens the integrity of government operations. I urge you to remove Elon Musk from any role in the federal government, as he is a clear and present threat to our democratic institutions. Granting Musk's allies access to sensitive data and the ability to potentially block payments is a severe breach of public trust. This misguided effort to exert political control over the core functions of the Treasury risks compromising confidential information, violating due process, and even crippling mission-critical infrastructure through ignorance of legacy systems. Unelected billionaires should not be handed the keys to manipulate government financing and citizens' personal data for their own political agenda. Restoring career civil servants like David Lebryk to their rightful oversight of these intricate processes is crucial to safeguarding this vital public service. The payment systems must remain free from external manipulation to ensure the proper and lawful distribution of funds to Americans. Preserving the independence of the Treasury's operational management is imperative to prevent catastrophic disruptions and abuse of power. </message>
