I am deeply concerned about Elon Musk’s increasing influence over government functions, technology, and elections. He is an unelected private citizen who now holds a role overseeing the Department of Government Efficiency, is running an investigation into the encrypted messaging app Signal, has received government contracts that benefit his businesses, and is spending massive amounts of money to sway elections—including paying Wisconsin voters to sign a petition. This is a blatant conflict of interest, and yet, no one seems to be taking a stand as Musk consolidates more power. His influence does not serve the American people; it serves his business and political agenda. I urge you to: 1. Investigate his role in the Department of Government Efficiency. What oversight exists to prevent abuse of power in this position? 2. Push back against his investigation of Signal. Encryption is essential for democracy, and his control over this investigation is alarming. 3. Examine the legality of his political spending. Paying people to sign petitions is a direct attempt to manipulate elections. 4. Ensure government contracts are not being awarded based on favoritism. Musk’s companies have secured billions in government funding, and transparency is needed. Will you take a stand against this unchecked influence? The American people deserve to know that billionaires are not running our government in the shadows. I look forward to your response.
