I am writing to express my deep concern regarding recent reports that Elon Musk’s associates sought access to federal payment systems that manage trillions of taxpayer dollars, including Social Security and Medicare benefits. Furthermore, there are alarming reports that Musk’s team has taken control of the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), restricting access to sensitive data on millions of federal employees. These actions pose a serious risk to the integrity of federal financial systems, the privacy of citizens, and the security of Social Security benefits. Allowing any private individual or their associates to interfere with these systems sets a dangerous precedent that must be prevented. I urge you to take immediate steps to: 1. Investigate and block any unauthorized access to federal payment systems, Social Security, and Medicare funds. 2. Ensure strict oversight and cybersecurity protections to prevent private individuals or corporations from tampering with sensitive government operations. 3. Hold those responsible accountable for any attempts to manipulate or control federal payment processing. Millions of Americans rely on these systems for their livelihoods. Allowing billionaires to exert influence over federal financial systems is unacceptable and must be stopped immediately. I ask for your swift action to protect Social Security, safeguard our public institutions, and uphold government accountability. I appreciate your attention to this urgent matter and look forward to your response on what steps you will take to ensure that government financial systems remain independent, secure, and protected from private interference.
