An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Revoke Musk's access to federal payment system

1 so far! Help us get to 5 signers!

The situation with Elon Musk's team gaining access to the federal payment system is highly concerning. It raises serious questions about the separation of powers and allowing private individuals undue influence over government operations. Granting this level of access to an unelected billionaire sets a dangerous precedent that undermines democratic accountability. I urge you to take immediate action to revoke this access and ensure proper oversight over government spending decisions. It is critical that disbursement of funds appropriated by Congress remains under the control of career civil servants, not private parties with potential conflicts of interest. Allowing a single wealthy individual to potentially restrict payments at will is unacceptable and a threat to the integrity of our institutions. While improving efficiency is a worthy goal, handing over the keys to the nation's coffers to Musk's team without any accountability measures crosses a line. I ask that you uphold your constitutional duty to maintain checks and balances within our government. The American people deserve transparency and assurances that billionaires cannot inappropriately interfere in essential functions. Please take decisive steps to address this overreach and restore proper procedures.
