Halting of Federal Investigations into Elon Musk's Businesses
1 so far! Help us get to 5 signers!
I am writing to express my deep concern regarding recent actions by President Trump that have led to the suspension of federal investigations into Elon Musk's businesses. These developments raise serious questions about potential abuses of power and the undermining of our nation's regulatory frameworks.
Notably, a federal investigation into potential workplace discrimination at Tesla was halted following a January 21 executive order by President Trump that effectively dismantled the agency responsible for the probe.

Additionally, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent issued an order that stalled the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's oversight of Big Tech firms, including Musk's X Corp (formerly Twitter).

There is also concern that ongoing National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigations into Tesla's partially automated vehicles and a Justice Department probe into potential false advertising of self-driving capabilities may be at risk of being overturned due to Musk's close relationship with President Trump.

These actions suggest a troubling pattern of interference in federal investigations, potentially compromising the integrity of our regulatory institutions. I urge you to investigate these matters thoroughly and take appropriate action to ensure that federal agencies can operate without undue influence, maintaining their commitment to justice and public safety.
Thank you for your attention to this critical issue.
