Friend,
It’s only been two weeks since Trump returned to the White House, but his “advisor” Elon Musk has already seized control of major government agencies – and he’s tearing them apart from the inside.
At the stroke of Trump’s pen, the newly created “Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE) has begun its aggressive restructuring of federal agencies, taking control of critical institutions like the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). Under Musk’s control, DOGE is impeding oversight, sidelining career experts, and handing unprecedented power to unelected operatives loyal to his corporate interests.
Musk’s so-called “efficiency reforms” are nothing more than a hostile takeover of our democracy. Under his direction:
🚨 USAID has been gutted. Staff have been ordered to stay home, while DOGE moves to shut down the agency entirely. This is the backbone of America’s global humanitarian aid – wiped out with a single directive.
🚨 The U.S. Treasury’s financial data is now in Musk’s hands. Reports indicate that DOGE operatives have been granted unprecedented access to the confidential information within the federal payment system, raising grave concerns about who controls Social Security, government payrolls, and critical financial transactions.
🚨 Unqualified cronies are replacing experienced civil servants. Musk has appointed a group of sycophants, including recent high school graduates and personal allies, to oversee billion-dollar programs. Career professionals are being purged while the government is run like a rogue Silicon Valley startup.
This is not the normal churn of a new administration. This is a full-scale coup by a hostile billionaire, and the consequences are chilling. We are watching in real time as the foundations of our democracy are gutted and dismantled by oligarchs who see government as just another way to enrich themselves.
Congress must act immediately. Investigations must begin into Musk’s access to confidential data, his reckless dismantling of federal agencies, and the dangerous precedent he is setting.
Let’s do this together.
