I am writing to express profound outrage and concern over the recent endorsement of Tesla Motors by the President of the United States (POTUS) at the apparent behest of Elon Musk. This blatant promotion of a private corporation by the highest office in the land reeks of ethical misconduct and corporate favoritism, while countless Americans suffer due to systemic underfunding of vital public services. At a time when Veterans Affairs (VA) hospitals are stretched beyond capacity, Social Security Administration (SSA) benefits are under threat, and essential social programs face debilitating budget cuts, it is unconscionable that our government would prioritize amplifying a billionaire’s business interests over the needs of its citizens. How can we justify funneling political capital into advertising Tesla—a company already valued in the trillions—while veterans, seniors, and working-class families are left to grapple with crumbling infrastructure and inadequate support? This is not just hypocrisy; it is a betrayal of public trust. I urge you to push into investigating this glaring conflict of interest and hold those in power accountable. The American people deserve transparency: Why are corporate alliances being prioritized over human lives? How many more public services must be gutted to fuel private gain? This cannot go unchallenged. Please use your platform to shed light on this issue before it sets a dangerous precedent for corporate influence over democratic institutions.
