Restrain Musk's improper influence on Treasury operations

The current situation with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and Elon Musk's meddling in government systems is deeply concerning. It is clear that giving an unelected billionaire like Musk access to sensitive payment systems that control the distribution of trillions in funds, including Social Security, Medicare, and federal salaries, poses an unacceptable risk. DOGE has no legal mandate to interfere with the operations of the Treasury Department, which has long been an apolitical institution carrying out critical financial duties for the American people. Musk's insistence on gaining this access, despite lacking any authority, reeks of entitlement and overreach driven by his proximity to the president. This situation threatens to undermine public trust in institutions meant to serve all citizens equally, not enrich the powerful. The resignation of a senior, non-partisan Treasury official like David Lebryk due to this inappropriate pressure campaign should sound alarms. I urge you to take immediate action to eliminate the rogue DOGE department, remove Elon Musk from any advisory role, and reassert congressional oversight to prevent further abuses of power that could jeopardize the financial security and well-being of millions of Americans. Unchecked billionaire influence has no place in a government of, by, and for the people.
