An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Halt Musk's unchecked power grab over government

44 so far! Help us get to 50 signers!

Elon Musk's rapid consolidation of power over federal agencies and sensitive information systems is deeply concerning and raises significant legal and ethical questions. His ability to access the Treasury Department's payment system, which handles trillions of dollars and sensitive personal data, represents a severe breach of protocols designed to protect this critical infrastructure. Furthermore, his moves to lock out federal employees, terminate leases, and shutter entire agencies like USAID without congressional approval appear to violate the separation of powers outlined in the Constitution. It is imperative that Congress and the judicial branch take immediate action to rein in Musk's unilateral actions and unauthorized access to secure data and systems. Allowing an unelected billionaire to wield such sweeping authority over the government functions sets a dangerous precedent that undermines democratic principles and oversight. Stringent safeguards must be put in place to prevent the exploitation of government resources and data for personal interests or agendas. The American people deserve a federal government that operates transparently, ethically, and in accordance with established laws and procedures. Musk's unchecked power grab cannot be permitted to continue unchallenged.
