The actions taken by Elon Musk and DOGE raise serious concerns about overreach, lack of accountability, and potential illegality. Granting unfettered access to sensitive government data and systems to unelected individuals with conflicts of interest is a direct threat to democratic norms and the separation of powers. Furthermore, the secrecy surrounding DOGE's operations, disregard for proper clearance protocols, and summary terminations of career civil servants undermine government integrity and effectiveness. I urge you to use your authority to immediately halt DOGE's encroachment, investigate any unlawful activities, and restore proper oversight and transparency to protect the public interest and uphold the Constitution. Unchecked unilateral actions by a private citizen cannot be allowed to compromise the functioning of our federal agencies and programs.
