I am writing to express my deep concerns regarding Elon Musk’s continued involvement in various U.S. government-related projects, including defense contracts, space exploration, and national infrastructure. Given recent events and actions that have raised ethical, security, and governance issues, I urge Congress to take decisive steps to reevaluate and, if necessary, sever his influence over critical governmental functions. Musk’s leadership in companies like SpaceX, Starlink, Tesla, and others has undeniably contributed to technological advancements. However, his unchecked power, controversial business decisions, and unpredictable behavior pose a potential national security risk. Reports of erratic decision-making, foreign influence, and conflicts of interest in government-funded projects call for immediate oversight and action. It has become increasingly clear that many of Musk’s government dealings are primarily for his own financial gain, rather than for the benefit of the country or its citizens. Additionally, his use of social media to spread misinformation, engage in hostile public discourse, and make unilateral decisions affecting global security raises red flags about his suitability as a trusted partner for U.S. interests. A recent example of his undue influence can be seen in the Wisconsin Supreme Court election, where he effectively bought votes by offering financial incentives, a move that undermines democratic integrity and raises serious ethical concerns. The reliance on his enterprises in key areas such as satellite communications, space transportation, and AI development should be reassessed to ensure they align with national security and democratic values. I urge you to investigate Musk’s role in government affairs and consider measures to limit his influence on national security and infrastructure projects. This could include increased oversight, competitive contract bidding, and ensuring that government collaborations prioritize transparency, security, and accountability. Thank you for your time and attention to this critical issue. I hope you will take swift action to safeguard our nation’s interests and uphold democratic integrity. I look forward to your response and any updates regarding potential legislative efforts.
