To the editor:

Republicans — there’s something you should know if you don’t already. Elon Musk and his team of six young hackers has illegally invaded your government! These young men, whose average age is 22, have infiltrated YOUR personal information in the federal government in Washington, D.C. That means they have access to your Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, VA and all other personal information held by the government, whether through tax returns or anything else. What’s more, they can do anything they want with that information and you have nothing to say about it!

With all three branches of the government and the Supreme Court in Republican control, and with little or no objection being heard from those quarters, Musk has free reign to continue this assault on every federal program we have.

The only thing that could slow down this outrageous and unconstitutional attack on your government is the possibility of a Democratically controlled House of Representatives. There are three special elections for seats in the House coming up in the next few months, including the race for New York’s 21st District, which is currently held by Elise Stefanik. She’s giving up her seat in Congress to take on the role of United States Ambassador to the United Nations.

While you may not be in the habit of voting for a Democrat, it’s something you might want to consider seriously during the upcoming special election. After all, you didn’t vote for Elon Musk, did you?
