I am writing to express my outrage and deep concern regarding the unchecked influence of Elon Musk over our government and the alarming reports that his companies have facilitated the transfer of unsolicited data to a foreign entity. These actions not only compromise national security but also expose a disturbing reality: an unelected oligarch is wielding more power over our institutions than our own elected representatives. Musk’s ever-growing control over critical infrastructure—ranging from satellite communications to transportation and artificial intelligence—has allowed him to dictate national policy in a manner that no private citizen should be permitted. His reckless decisions, including the selective provision of military technology, have had direct geopolitical consequences, and yet, rather than being held accountable, he continues to operate with impunity. This is a blatant failure of our government to uphold democratic principles and prevent the consolidation of power in the hands of a single billionaire. Even more egregious is the revelation that unsolicited data—presumably sensitive or proprietary—has been allowed to reach a foreigner, raising urgent national security concerns. If a private citizen can override our government’s oversight in such matters, what does that say about our sovereignty? This is not merely a regulatory lapse; it is an abdication of responsibility by those sworn to protect the American people. The United States cannot afford to be held hostage by a single individual who prioritizes his own business interests and personal whims over the well-being of the nation. I demand immediate action to rein in Musk’s undue influence, investigate the extent of these security breaches, and implement safeguards to prevent any further exploitation of our country’s resources and data by self-serving oligarchs. I expect a direct response outlining what measures you and your office will take to address this crisis. The American people deserve a government that stands for democracy, not one that cowers before billionaires.
