Petition to US Leaders Regarding President Trump & Elon Musk's Recent Hatch Act Violation
We, the undersigned, are deeply concerned about the recent actions of President Donald Trump & Elon Musk that appear to violate the Hatch Act.
Specifically, we are alarmed by the event where President Trump and Elon Musk showcased multiple Tesla vehicles in front of the White House with the intention of spurring sales of the vehicles, which could be construed as a commercial activity and a misuse of federal resources.
The Hatch Act, enacted in 1939, prohibits federal employees from engaging in partisan political activities and ensures the nonpartisan operation of government. While the act may not apply directly to the president, it is crucial that the president's actions do not undermine the principles of the Hatch Act and the integrity of federal agencies. The Hatch Act does apparently apply to Elon Musk as a "special government employee."
We demand an investigation into this incident to determine whether it constitutes a violation of the Hatch Act. We further call on the US leaders to take appropriate disciplinary action if the investigation confirms any wrongdoing.
We believe that the integrity of our government and the Hatch Act's principles must be upheld, and we urge the US leaders to take swift and decisive action to address this matter.
Sign the petition here to show your support for upholding the Hatch Act and maintaining the integrity of our government.
