To the Editor,

I am 69 years old and I lived through Vietnam, Nixon and the Reagan years, but I have never seen an attack on our democracy like this.

In the past, there was bipartisan opposition to lawlessness. Elected officials did not all vote for tyranny based on political party. Why is the unelected Musk running the show? Why is he getting access to our personal information?  This is a coup because Musk and his followers were not elected to any public office and there is no office that would give him the authority to take these actions.

It is all illegal and its intended effect is to undo democratic practice and violate human rights.
