Demand Accountability for Elon Musk's Mismanagement of DOGE

I am writing to express my deep concern over the actions of Elon Musk during his tenure as head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) in the second Trump administration. The impact of his leadership on our federal workforce and government operations has been nothing short of catastrophic, and I urge you to take immediate action to hold him accountable. The rapid and reckless downsizing of the federal workforce under Musk's direction has caused immense disruption across government agencies. The so-called 'Valentine's Day Massacre,' where tens of thousands of dedicated public servants lost their jobs without proper consideration or process, is a stark example of his mismanagement. This event not only devastated countless families but also severely compromised the functioning of critical government services. Interviews with over 200 federal workers reveal a pattern of hostile work environments, questionable security practices, and attempts to access sensitive government systems without proper authorization. These actions have not only jeopardized national security but have also eroded the morale and effectiveness of our civil service. The emotional toll on federal workers has been severe, with many reporting stress, anxiety, and uncertainty about their futures. This human cost cannot be ignored and demands a response from our elected officials. Moreover, the long-term consequences of Musk's actions continue to reverberate through federal agencies, potentially compromising their ability to serve the American people effectively. I implore you to launch a thorough investigation into Musk's tenure at DOGE. We need to understand the full extent of the damage done and implement measures to prevent such mismanagement in the future. Additionally, I ask that you work towards restoring the stability and integrity of our federal workforce, including considering reinstatement and compensation for those unjustly terminated. The American people deserve a government that functions efficiently and ethically. Elon Musk's actions at DOGE represent a significant breach of public trust and a failure of leadership. It is crucial that we hold him and any others involved accountable for their actions to ensure the integrity of our democratic institutions and the well-being of our dedicated public servants.
