An Open Letter
To: Sen. Cornyn
From: A constituent in San Antonio, TX
February 5
Elon Musk's recent actions amount to an undemocratic coup against the American people and our system of government. By illegally seizing control of key federal computer systems and data, he is trampling on individual privacy rights and undermining the core democratic processes that give citizens a voice through their elected representatives. If Musk gains the ability to override lawfully authorized government spending, it would render Congress impotent and our votes meaningless. This is an existential threat to American democracy itself. We cannot allow an unelected billionaire to unilaterally override our laws, violate our civil liberties, and usurp the authority vested in our elected leaders by the people. Musk's power grab must be recognized as the anti-democratic coup that it is and immediately stopped through all legal means necessary to preserve our republic and constitutional order. The integrity of our civic institutions and fundamental rights hang in the balance. Inaction simply enables this authoritarian seizure
Musk is not elected. You are!
