Elon Musk's aggressive moves to overhaul multiple federal agencies represent an alarming overreach of private power into the public sphere. His staffers have brazenly disregarded protocols, sidelined career officials raising concerns, and even pushed to dismantle entire agencies like USAID. This unchecked war on the civil service not only undermines Congressional authority but poses a dire threat to democratic governance itself. I urge you to vigorously investigate these actions and their legality. Musk's financial entanglements with the government compound concerns over undue private influence being wielded over public institutions meant to serve all Americans. His ideological purge of so-called "deep state" employees is unacceptable and undemocratic. Decisive action is needed to rein in this extreme abuse of billionaire power over the federal bureaucracy before further damage is done. The alarming speed and scale of these incursions demands an immediate Congressional response to protect democratic norms.
