An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Musk’s Overreach Hurts Americans

52 so far! Help us get to 100 signers!

Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) group have undertaken an alarming and undemocratic dismantling of key federal agencies. Their actions pose a grave threat to crucial government functions, from environmental monitoring and humanitarian aid to aviation safety and financial stability. These reckless moves violate civil service protections, undermine public sector expertise, and jeopardize services millions of Americans rely upon. DOGE has been granted unauthorized access to sensitive government data systems, overstepping legal boundaries without oversight. Federal judges have already had to intervene to temporarily block some of Musk's most egregious attempts at sabotage. Musk's arrogant power grab cannot be allowed to continue unchecked. His dismissive treatment of hard-working civil servants is an insult to their dedication. DOGE employees, many lacking relevant experience, are unqualified to cripple agencies providing essential public services. Dismantling the federal government to this degree would breed catastrophic instability. I urge you to use your full authority to rein in Musk's rogue efforts and defend the civil service. His disruptive actions compromise national security, public safety, and democratic accountability. Preserving the lawful functioning of the federal government must be an utmost priority. Musk's destructive overreach demands a forceful response protecting the public good.
