Musk's unlawful power grab threatens democracy, restrain overreach
To: Sen. Lee, Sen. Curtis, Rep. Owens
From: A constituent in Eagle Mountain, UT
February 5
As a constituent, Elon Musk's actions represent an unconstitutional seizure of power that undermines democratic processes and institutions. His team is rapidly consolidating control over sensitive government data, finances, and agencies in flagrant violation of laws and congressional authority. Musk has no legal mandate to access classified information, override appropriated funding, dismantle organizations like USAID, or purge federal workers. This is an unelected billionaire autocrat attempting to restructure the government around his personal agenda against the will of Congress and the American people. Musk's contempt for constitutional constraints poses a grave threat to democracy itself. Immediate action must be taken to halt his unlawful power grab and restore the nation's system of checks and balances before further damage is done.
