An open letter to State Governors & Legislatures (Ore. only)
Oversight on Elon Musk and DOGE
3 so far! Help us get to 5 signers!
Writing to express deep concern over Elon Musk’s involvement in government affairs, in a fabricated DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) position. A role doesn’t exist in any legitimate government structure. Or elected/approved by Congress. This unprecedented/extralegal appointment is direct affront to democratic governance a matter of national security.
Mr. Musk, a private billionaire has history of prioritizing personal/corporate interests over public wellbeing. He was granted undue influence in critical government functions. His unchecked access to sensitive infrastructure, military contracts, and energy policies pose serious risks. America didn't vote for him. No congressional oversight in granting such authority. It's alarming that he, unelected individual could wield such power without accountability.
Beyond national security implications, his history of erratic decision making, financial entanglements and public manipulation of markets including direct financial interests in cryptocurrency, space exploration, and defense contracts raises ethical concerns. No private citizen should be permitted to insert themselves in government operations without scrutiny/approval of legislative branch.
I urge Congress to immediate action to remove him from all government roles. Why no investigation? How was a fabricated position granted without democratic consent? Left unchecked, it sets a dangerous precedent, allowing billionaires to hijack government authority without public oversight.
This is a critical moment for democracy. Imploring you to act swiftly to restore transparency, accountability and integrity of our leadership. American people deserve governance that's chosen by us. Not by backroom deals/corporate interests.
Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter. Look forward to seeing the state uphold its duty to protect our nation and its democratic institutions.
