An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Emergency: Stop Musk's reckless financial power grab endangering Americans

2 so far! Help us get to 5 signers!

This is an outrageous and unacceptable power grab by Trump's cronies that endangers the financial security of every American. Letting a lawless billionaire like Musk seize control of the $6 trillion federal payment system is reckless beyond belief. He now has the ability to shut off Social Security checks, tax refunds, and crucial income streams on a whim. Giving one man this much control over the nation's finances is madness. But it gets worse - Musk also has access to the most sensitive personal data of taxpayers, including Social Security numbers and bank details for over 100 million people. This is a massive breach that exposes Americans to crippling identity theft and fraud by bad actors. Lawmakers urgently demanding answers are being stonewalled as our rights are trampled. This is a five-alarm crisis that cannot stand. DOGE's illegal seizure of the payment system must end immediately before irreversible damage is done. Restore this vital infrastructure to proper oversight and force Musk to delete all illegally obtained data. Nothing less than the economic fate of the nation hangs in the balance. We cannot let this authoritarian kleptocracy put America's finances at risk to enrich themselves and Trump's wealthy backers.
