I am writing to express my deep concern and outrage over reports that Elon Musk is physically taking over the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), locking employees out of their computers, and gaining unauthorized access to personnel data. Even more disturbing is the possibility that he could obtain access to Social Security and Medicare databases. As a citizen and taxpayer, I demand immediate action to investigate and halt this unprecedented overreach.
My mother, like millions of Americans, relies on Social Security and Medicare. The idea that a private individual—one with a well-documented history of erratic and reckless behavior—could access or tamper with this data is beyond alarming. No private citizen should have control over government employee records, let alone sensitive personal and financial information of American citizens. If Musk is breaking the law, as it certainly appears he is, he must be held accountable, including criminal prosecution if warranted.
Additionally, I demand that you take action to stop the ongoing purging of vital information from government databases, including those of the CDC, USDA, and other federal agencies. The systematic erasure of public records and scientific data is a dangerous affront to democracy and public health. The American people have a right to transparency and access to critical information, free from the interference of billionaires or political interests.
I urge you to exert immediate congressional oversight and take decisive action to protect our government institutions from this unprecedented corporate incursion. The American public cannot afford inaction or vague assurances—we need concrete steps to ensure that no private individual has undue influence over government operations, and that our essential public data remains intact and protected.
I look forward to your prompt response outlining the specific actions you will take to address this urgent crisis.
Sincerely,
