Congress needs to do its job
To the Editor:
I did not vote for Elon Musk, and I am pretty sure that no one else did either as he was not on any ballot. Then, why is this man able to disrupt and make changes in our governmental system and programs? Sens. Tillis and Budd, and Rep. Edwards, do your jobs!
Whether I agree with your positions or not is not the issue. The issue is that we have an unelected individual that is quickly disrupting our country while you seem to sit back and watch.
Mr. Musk’s voice is much louder than mine. He has more money. I am sure that you fear his monetary influence in the next election. You keep in mind that he injected $280 million into the campaign of Mr. Trump and so influenced that election. You are concerned about losing your next election in the primaries if you disagree with or attempt to stymy Mr. Musk’s actions.
You should remember that both the House and the Senate have powers and that the Executive Branch is the administrator of the laws passed by Congress; passed by Congress, not by Executive decree. And just because Mr. Musk is Mr. Trump’s friend does not give him any position or power within our government unless you ignore your duties and allow this to happen. I say again, do your jobs. Be more interested in doing your jobs than you are about fearing to lose them.
