I am writing to express my deep alarm and concern over what appears to be a hostile takeover of the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) by Elon Musk—a private citizen who has neither been elected nor appointed to any governmental role, nor does he possess the necessary security clearances to access sensitive federal systems. If these reports are accurate, this situation is tantamount to a coup and represents a clear and present danger to the United States, our national security, and the well-being of every American citizen.
The potential ramifications of this unprecedented breach cannot be overstated. Elon Musk's unchecked influence over federal operations, personnel, and financial decision-making poses extreme economic and security risks:
National Security Threats: Unrestricted access to the OPM’s systems could expose classified and sensitive federal employee data, weakening our intelligence community, federal workforce, and national defense capabilities.
Economic and Government Stability Risks: The influence of a single, unappointed individual over government operations jeopardizes financial markets and threatens the economic security of millions of Americans.
Erosion of American Global Leadership: The paralysis of federal operations undermines American exceptionalism and weakens our standing as a beacon of democratic governance, ceding influence to adversaries who will eagerly fill the vacuum left by our inaction.
Direct Impact on Military Readiness: Attacks on federal workers and government spending will inevitably weaken our armed forces, jeopardizing both domestic stability and global security.
I urge you to take immediate and decisive action to restore integrity, security, and constitutional order to our government.
What steps are you taking to investigate this apparent unauthorized takeover of OPM?
Why is Congress and this administration allowing an unelected and unappointed private individual—one who has openly admitted to drug use and erratic decision-making—to seize control of critical government functions?
What legislative and security measures are being pursued to safeguard federal institutions from external interference?
This is not a partisan issue; it is a matter of national survival. If we fail to act now, we risk the very foundation of our democracy. I urge you to fulfill your oath to defend the Constitution and protect the American people from this unprecedented threat.
I look forward to your prompt response and to seeing immediate corrective action taken to restore accountability, security, and stability to our federal institutions.
