Rescind Elon Musk's access to federal payment system
To: Rep. Johnson
From: A constituent in Dallas, TX
February 3
I am concerned about Elon Musk and his team being granted access to the federal payment system by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. This system contains sensitive financial data of American citizens and businesses. Allowing an unelected billionaire with a controversial track record and governmental contracts that represent a direct conflict of interest to potentially monitor or limit payments approved by Congress raises serious privacy and overreach issues. I urge you to rescind this access immediately to protect the private information of Americans from unauthorized surveillance and maintain proper checks and balances in government spending decisions. Unchecked access by private interests is an affront to democratic principles and could enable abuse of power. I hope you will take prompt action to address this alarming situation that threatens citizens' privacy rights.
