An open letter to the President & U.S. Congress

Revoke private access to Treasury payment system, restore oversight

1 so far! Help us get to 5 signers!

The reports of Elon Musk's unauthorized personnel seizing control of the Treasury Department's payment system are alarming and unconstitutional. This represents an unprecedented breach of crucial government systems containing sensitive data on hundreds of millions of Americans. No private individual or company should have unfettered access to this information without proper vetting, authorization, and oversight. Allowing unaccountable actors to manipulate the flow of taxpayer funds poses severe risks to national security, financial stability, and the privacy rights of citizens. This seems to be an undemocratic power grab that undermines the checks and balances of our institutions. Immediate action must be taken to revoke Musk's team's access and restore control to Senate-confirmed officials and career civil servants who are meant to safeguard these systems responsibly. Protecting the integrity of government operations from private capture is essential for maintaining public trust. I urge you to use your authority to halt this unacceptable overreach and hold those responsible accountable.
