An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Stop Elon Musk’s Illegal Seizure of the US Government

20 so far! Help us get to 25 signers!

Elon Musk’s access to private data, access to payroll and finance systems, and attempts to dismantle and shut down offices of the federal government, given his status as a non-elected official granted the means to do so beyond Congressional approval, are all illegal, and must be stopped using any Congressional, procedural, and protest means possible, including the blockage of Republican bills, all Republican appointees, subpoena of Musk and his subordinates unlawfully accessing the data, and, if necessary, a government shutdown. The potential outcome of this situation is the most serious threat to American democracy in history, and must be resisted as robustly as it is being thrust upon us. Democrats can no longer attempt half-measures, seek compromise, and acquiesce in the manner of the last twenty years of their action, or we will find ourselves in a Hungarian-style autocracy by the summer.
