The actions of Elon Musk in gaining access to federal payment systems raise serious concerns about the influence of private individuals over vital government functions. We must safeguard these systems from potential exploitation by corporate interests. A government of the people, by the people, and for the people cannot allow itself to be compromised by the unchecked power of billionaires. I urge you to take immediate action to investigate and curtail Musk's access, protecting the integrity of processes that millions of Americans rely on. Our democratic institutions must remain accountable to the public they serve, not beholden to the whims of the ultra-wealthy. Defending the autonomy of government from the undue sway of oligarchs is imperative to preserving the foundations of our republic.
