An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Investigate and Remove Elon Musk!

9 so far! Help us get to 10 signers!

I am once again writing to express my deep concern over Elon Musk’s involvement in governmental affairs, particularly his fabricated role in the so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)—a position that does not exist within any legitimate government structure and was neither approved by Congress nor subjected to democratic oversight. This unprecedented and extralegal appointment is a direct affront to democratic governance and a matter of national security. Mr. Musk, a private billionaire with a history of prioritizing personal and corporate interests over public well-being, now wields undue influence over critical government functions without any electoral mandate. His unchecked access to sensitive national infrastructure, military contracts, and energy policies poses serious risks, yet the American people had no say in granting him such authority. This lack of transparency is deeply alarming. Beyond the national security implications, Mr. Musk’s history of erratic decision-making, financial entanglements, and market manipulation—including his direct financial interests in cryptocurrency, space exploration, and defense contracts—raises serious ethical concerns. His involvement in government operations without scrutiny from Congress sets a dangerous precedent, allowing billionaires and private entities to hijack governmental authority without public oversight. I urge Congress to take immediate action to: 1 Remove Elon Musk from any and all government-affiliated roles. 2 Investigate how and why this fabricated position was granted without congressional approval. 3 Enact safeguards to prevent private individuals from exerting unchecked influence over government functions. If left unchecked, this power grab will erode democratic institutions and public trust in government. The American people deserve leadership chosen by them—not installed through corporate backroom deals. I implore you to act swiftly to restore transparency, accountability, and the integrity of our nation’s governance. Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter. I look forward to your response and to seeing Congress uphold its duty to protect democracy.
