We cannot allow unelected billionaires like Elon Musk to seize control of our government and undermine its core institutions. His bureaucratic coup through the so-called "Department of Government Efficiency" represents a dangerous assault on democratic norms and processes. Musk has no mandate from the American people, yet he is firing career civil servants, terminating office leases, and gaining unauthorized access to sensitive systems like the Treasury's payments infrastructure. This reckless power grab threatens the functioning of essential government services that millions rely upon. We must take immediate action to rein in Musk's overreach, protect civil servants from further retaliation, and uphold the rule of law. Our government exists to serve the public interest, not the whims of the ultra-wealthy. Preserving our democratic system of checks and balances is paramount.
