An open letter to the U.S. Senate

Denounce Elon Musk's Attack on Judicial Authority​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

19 so far! Help us get to 25 signers!

I am writing as your constituent to urge you to speak out against Elon Musk's dangerous anti-constitutional rhetoric and to pressure President Trump to sever his administration's ties with Mr. Musk. At a recent rally, Mr. Musk stated: "Any federal judge can stop any action by the president. This is insane. This has got to stop. It has got to stop at the federal level at the state level." This statement is a direct attack on our system of checks and balances. This is not merely a misunderstanding—it is a deliberate attempt to undermine the judiciary's essential role in our government and elevate the presidency beyond the constraints established by our founders. Our nation's founders deliberately established three branches of government to prevent any single branch from becoming too powerful. The judiciary's authority to review executive actions isn't a flaw in our system—it's a feature specifically designed to protect the American people from potential overreach. As my elected representative in Congress, you have sworn an oath to "support and defend the Constitution of the United States." This oath requires you to act when our constitutional principles are threatened, regardless of party politics. I implore you to: 1) Publicly condemn Mr. Musk's statements as contrary to our constitutional system 2) Call on President Trump to denounce these views and terminate any formal or informal advisory role Mr. Musk holds 3) Use your committee positions and questioning opportunities to directly address this issue with administration officials Mr. Musk's statement clearly demonstrates he should have no role whatsoever in advising our government. Someone who so brazenly advocates for dismantling constitutional safeguards cannot be trusted with influence over public policy. The actions I am calling for transcend partisan politics—they are about preserving the constitutional framework that has sustained our county for over two centuries. Your position as a member of Congress demands unwavering dedication to these principles, even when that means challenging your party's leadership or influential supporters. I ask you to put your constituents and our country as a whole over party politics. Our constitutional system of government must be defended by all elected officials, regardless of political affiliation. I look forward to your action on this critical matter.
