Another in what is becoming my weekly comments to my senators.

I'm still trying to figure out why Elon Musk is being allowed to run amok through our government.  And what you plan to do about it.

You are tacitly approving of him standing on stage and holding up a chainsaw, and making a mockery of the federal workers he's firing indiscriminately. You are condoning his nazi salute.  

But those are just "simple" yet essentially harmful actions.  His more nefarious ones that you are letting go include:

Creating a "department" that he claims to both not be a part of yet and also run, and whose acronym conveniently is an advertisement for  his crypto coin.

Deciding what is happening at the FAA because of his personal beef with the administration in order to promote his own spacex company - while endangering all of us.

Telling us that we need to get rid of the international space station in order to go to mars - again a blatant promotion of his own private company.

He received a contract for tesla vehicles that went through no bidding process - and which serves to enrich him personally as the ceo of tesla.

He has already moved some official communications from agencies to appear only on the-platform-formerly-known-as-twitter which he owns.  And again without any sort of formal process. And plans to move more agency information there and there only, for his own gain.

This is simply absurd.  DO YOUR JOB and hold him accountable.  He's an unelected person who is telling the president what to do. And profiting from those things.  He's a foreign national to boot.  He has no business doing all the things he is doing.  

Shame on you for letting it happen on your watch.
