📣 Keep calling, emailing, & speaking out. Public pressure works.

(2/2) 10/ This is an unprecedented expansion of power for an unelected billionaire. I urge [Senator/Rep] to demand transparency, investigate conflicts of interest, and take action to limit Musk’s unchecked authority.

Can I count on them to push back? Thank you.”

9/ 📌 Sample Script:

“Hi, my name is [NAME], and I’m a constituent from [CITY/STATE]. I’m deeply concerned that Elon Musk has been appointed as a Special Government Employee, giving him legal authority over federal payments, budget cuts, and agency closures. (1/2)

8/ 📞 Take Action: Demand Oversight

Musk now has official government power—but Congress can push back. Call your reps & demand action.

📞 Call: (202) 224-3121 (Senate) or (202) 225-3121 (House)
📌 Find local offices: House.gov & Senate.gov

7/ What Happens Next?

📌 Congress could intervene, but no formal action has been taken.
📌 Musk’s role could extend to more agencies & budget areas.
📌 Legal & ethical challenges are likely ahead.

This is a developing story. We’ll keep watching.

6/ Why Is This a Big Deal?

📌 Musk’s companies (Tesla, SpaceX, Starlink) hold major federal contracts.
📌 He wasn’t elected, confirmed, or subject to oversight.
📌 Now, he has legal power to reshape federal policy—with no accountability.

🚨 An unelected billionaire is making government decisions.

5/ Dismantling Government Agencies

📌 USAID employees were told not to report to work—Musk pushed for this shutdown.
📌 His team has been removing officials from agencies deemed inefficient.

🚨 This isn’t just advising—it’s actively reshaping government.

4/ The Treasury processes over $5 trillion per year. This system wasn’t designed for political interference, but Musk now has legal access to oversee spending.

📢 This raises concerns about whether funds for social programs, government salaries, or foreign aid could be delayed or cut.

3/ Federal Payments & Treasury Control

📌 Musk’s team now has access to the Treasury’s payment system, which processes:
▪️ Social Security & Medicare payments
▪️ Federal salaries & contracts
▪️ Grants, aid, & gov disbursements

🚨 This could let him slow, suspend, or block payments.

2/ What Does This Role Give Him?

📌 A gov email & White House office space
📌 Authority over budget cuts & agency downsizing
📌 Expanded access to the Treasury’s payment system
📌 Direct influence over agency closures—including USAID

Before, Musk had influence—but no formal power. Now, he has both.

1/ His appointment was confirmed by the White House on Feb. 3, 2025. Until now, Musk wasn’t legally allowed to control federal payments or disband agencies. This changes that.

"This could allow political interference in critical payments. I urge [Senator/Rep] to demand transparency & oversight. Will they take action?"

📢 Government funds should serve the people—not private interests. Call now.

(2/2)

📌 Sample script:

"Hi, my name is [NAME], and I’m a constituent from [CITY/STATE]. I’m concerned that Treasury gave Elon Musk’s team access to the federal payment system, which handles Social Security & Medicare."

7/ 📣 Take Action

📞 Call your reps & demand oversight:
📌 Senate Finance Committee: (202) 224-4515
📌 Capitol switchboard: (202) 224-3121

📢 Government funds should serve the people—not private interests. Share this post.

6/ What Happens Next?

📌 More scrutiny & legal challenges expected.
📌 If federal payments face delays—this could be why.
📌 Musk’s team now has control over federal funds.

🚨 This story isn’t over.

5/ Lawmakers Are Sounding the Alarm

📌 Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR):
"These systems cannot fail. Any political meddling risks economic damage."

🚨 Treasury has not confirmed if Musk’s team has already interfered.

📢 Congress may investigate—but will it act in time?

4/ What Are the Risks?

❌ Social Security & Medicare delays
❌ Selective funding cuts to agencies, programs, states
❌ Conflicts of interest—Musk’s companies get federal contracts

📢 This is a massive power shift.
