Investigate Musk's undue influence over DOGE's decisions

I am writing to express serious concerns about the conflicts of interest surrounding Elon Musk's involvement with the "Department of Government Efficiency" (DOGE) and the preservation of federal positions that directly benefit his companies, SpaceX and Starlink. Recent reports indicate that while thousands of federal jobs are being eliminated, employees at the Department of Transportation who provide crucial support for Musk's space launches have been spared from these cuts. This decision raises alarming ethical questions. The FY2025 DOT budget details funding for positions in areas like air traffic control, pipeline management, and cybersecurity - roles that are critical for facilitating commercial space operations, including those of SpaceX and Starlink. By protecting these positions, Musk appears to be exploiting his authority within DOGE to preserve government resources that directly serve his private interests. Such blatant conflicts of interest are unacceptable and undermine public trust in the federal government. It suggests that rather than pursuing an objective restructuring, DOGE is being weaponized to advance Musk's corporate agenda at the expense of government integrity and accountability to the American people. This supposed "efficiency" effort has devolved into cronyism that compromises the government's ability to function properly. I urge you to thoroughly investigate these troubling reports and take immediate action to address the undue influence Musk seems to be exerting over DOGE's decisions. Stringent ethics rules and oversight mechanisms must be implemented to eliminate conflicts of interest and prevent further abuses of power that prioritize private gain over public good. The American people deserve a government that works for their interests, not the interests of billionaires like Elon Musk.
