Rep. Elissa Slotkin, who has been serving in the U.S. Congress representing Michigan’s 7th district since 2019, recently expressed her concerns on social media regarding various issues affecting Americans. In a series of tweets dated February 4, 2025, Slotkin highlighted potential threats to privacy and public safety.

In one tweet, Rep. Slotkin addressed concerns about Elon Musk's access to sensitive information: "Elon Musk, an unelected billionaire, now has access to Americans' private and personal information, including sensitive tax documents. This raises all kinds of questions about the use and abuse of that information for targeting of citizens, to use for legal or financial gain."

On the same day, she also commented on governmental budget cuts: "I have no problems cutting fat from the system, but this approach is way too broad, and risks throwing the baby out with the bathwater when it comes to professions that Americans rely on, whether they know it or not."

Furthermore, Rep. Slotkin criticized targeted reductions across federal government roles: "The targeting across our federal govt of law enforcement, to flight safety inspectors, to weather forecasters or those who test our drinking water, to doctors conducting clinical trials for children with cancer is not just wrong – it will result in Americans being less safe."
