An open letter to the U.S. Congress

File criminal charges against Elon Musk for locking workers out

3 so far! Help us get to 5 signers!

I am writing as a concerned citizen to urge you to take immediate action regarding recent reports involving Elon Musk and his alleged interference with U.S. government operations. According to a Reuters report dated January 31, 2025, aides to Mr. Musk reportedly locked federal workers out of critical computer systems, potentially obstructing their ability to carry out essential government functions. This is an egregious abuse of power and a dangerous precedent for private individuals and corporations interfering with public operations. Such actions may constitute serious violations of federal law, including obstruction of government operations and unauthorized access to government information systems. In addition to calling for a thorough investigation and criminal charges if warranted, I strongly urge you to oppose any efforts to grant Musk or his employees security clearances or access to sensitive government information. The reported actions demonstrate a blatant disregard for governmental processes and security protocols, posing a clear risk to national security. This restriction must extend to all entities under his control to ensure the protection of government functions and classified information. Holding powerful individuals accountable and safeguarding sensitive information is essential to upholding the rule of law and protecting our democracy. Please let me know what steps you are taking to address this matter. I appreciate your attention to this urgent issue and your commitment to upholding justice.
