Abuse of Power: Hold Trump Accountable for Promoting Tesla at the White House!

To: Sen. Duckworth, Rep. Miller, Sen. Durbin

From: A verified voter in Donnellson, IL

March 12

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to express my deep concern regarding recent actions taken by Donald Trump during his time in office. Specifically, I am referring to an event that took place at the White House in March 2025, where he used his role as president to publicly endorse and promote Tesla vehicles, including posing for photographs alongside various Tesla models in a highly publicized display. This event was not only inappropriate but also raises serious questions about the ethical and legal implications of using the White House for personal and commercial gain. It appears that President Trump may have exploited his position to act as an unofficial spokesperson for Elon Musk and his business interests, which could be a clear violation of public trust and a potential abuse of power. This kind of behavior is especially concerning given Musk’s considerable financial and political influence. As a concerned citizen, I firmly believe that such actions—if proven to be illegal—must be met with accountability. This type of conduct undermines the integrity of our government and sets a dangerous precedent for future leaders. I urge you to investigate this situation thoroughly and consider taking necessary steps to hold those responsible accountable, ensuring that the highest levels of office remain free from conflicts of interest and manipulation for private gain. It is critical that our leaders, regardless of their position, adhere to ethical standards and laws that protect the interests of the American people and preserve the sanctity of our government institutions. Please take the necessary steps to address this troubling incident and ensure that this kind of behavior does not go unchecked. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your response and any actions you may take to protect the integrity of our democracy.
