Scrutinize Musk's DOGE over transparency, overreach concerns

To: Sen. Tillis, Sen. Budd, Rep. Edwards

From: A constituent in Asheville, NC

February 5

The rapid and secretive actions taken by Elon Musk's DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) project raise serious concerns about government overreach, lack of transparency, and potential violation of constitutional principles. Granting unfettered access to sensitive data systems and the Treasury Department's payment mechanisms to an unelected individual and his team circumvents established oversight and accountability measures. This appears to undermine the authority of Congress in its constitutional role of controlling federal spending. There are legitimate questions about the legal basis for DOGE's operations and whether proper protocols around security clearances and conflicts of interest are being followed. Musk's statements about cutting government waste lack specific details and metrics that can be independently verified. His combative stance towards career civil servants is concerning. I urge you to exercise your constitutional authority to scrutinize DOGE's activities through hearings and investigations. Measures should be taken to protect the integrity of government systems and data from potential abuse or selective release to suit a particular agenda. Upholding principles of democratic governance with robust checks and balances is paramount. Swift action is needed to address this extraordinary situation before further overreach occurs.
