An open letter to the U.S. Congress

President Trump's unethical endorsement of Tesla violates democratic norms

1 so far! Help us get to 5 signers!

President Trump's public purchase of a Tesla vehicle from Elon Musk is an outrageous and blatant abuse of power that cannot be tolerated. As the nation's highest elected official, the president has grossly violated ethical norms by shamelessly promoting and endorsing a private corporation. This flagrant exploitation of his office for personal gain is a direct affront to the principles of good governance and a slap in the face to the American people. Trump's vile attacks on those protesting Tesla, branding them as domestic terrorists, are equally reprehensible and a brazen assault on the constitutionally protected right to free speech. Such authoritarian rhetoric seeking to criminalize dissent is the hallmark of a tyrant, not a democratically elected leader. The president's actions reek of cronyism and corporate favoritism at the expense of the public interest. They represent a dangerous disregard for ethical boundaries and a disturbing erosion of democratic norms. This disgraceful conduct undermines faith in the integrity of the government and makes a mockery of the rule of law. Trump's corrupt behavior is an egregious dereliction of duty that demands accountability.
