I am writing to express my deep concern regarding reports that Elon Musk and entities affiliated with him, including DOGE, have obtained access to confidential federal data and personal information of American citizens. Such access raises serious constitutional, legal, and national security concerns that warrant immediate congressional scrutiny.
The unauthorized disclosure of federal and citizen data may violate multiple legal protections. The Fourth Amendment protects against unreasonable searches and seizures, and the Privacy Act of 1974 strictly regulates the collection and dissemination of personal data by federal agencies. Any unauthorized sharing of such information with private individuals or corporations is a direct violation of these protections. Additionally, if government agencies have granted privileged access to Musk or DOGE without statutory authorization, it may constitute an improper delegation of authority, raising concerns about conflicts of interest and undue influence.
Furthermore, access to federal operations data by a private individual with significant foreign business ties presents a potential national security risk. Transparency and oversight are necessary to ensure sensitive government information is not improperly used or exploited.
I respectfully request that you investigate and clarify the following:
On what legal basis has Musk or DOGE been granted access to federal data?
Which agencies have provided such access, and under what authority?
What safeguards exist to prevent misuse?
What oversight measures are in place to protect national security and privacy rights?
I urge you to take immediate steps to ensure that sensitive federal data remains secure and that private individuals and entities do not receive unauthorized access.
