Declaration of Independence 1776
I HEREBY DECLARE A NEW 2025
DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE
FROM the ARBITRARY RULE OF TYRANT ELON MUSK, advisor to President Donald Trump
Declaration of Independence from all orders, usurpations of our tax dollars, directives and firings and threats by Elon Musk!
WE THE PEOPLE of the United States of America declare that
when in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.–That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, –That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object, to enrich Elon Musk, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.–Such has been the patient sufferance of these citizens of the United States of America; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present advisor to the President of the United States of America, ELON MUSK, is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over the People of the United States of America. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
Elon Musk has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
Elon Musk has forbidden elected politicians to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.
Elon Musk has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.
Elon Musk has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.
Elon Musk has dissolved Representative Institutions repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.
Elon Musk has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the Legislative powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.
Elon Musk has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.
Elon Musk has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers.
Elon Musk has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
Elon Musk has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.
Elon Musk has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.
Elon Musk has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.
Elon Musk has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:
For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:
For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:
For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:
For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:
For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury:
For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences:
For abolishing the free System of United States of America Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these States:
For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:
For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.
Elon Musk has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.
Elon Musk has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.
Elon Musk is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.
Elon Musk has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.
Elon Musk has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.
In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. ELON MUSK, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be advisor to the ruler, President Donald Trump, of a free people.
Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our Republican elected officials and brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.
We, therefore, the Common People and Registered Voters of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these United States of America, solemnly publish and declare, That these United States are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent of all actions and words and directives and orders and firings of ELON MUSK; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to ELON MUSK, and that all political connection between them and ELON MUSK, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent Citizens of the United States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which the United States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.
(O.K. so you may say this exaggerates the situation a little, but not if you were fired by Elon Musk, or hurt by any of his other actions which are so all encompassing they give the full force and effect of a dictator.)
Thanks for your timely post...
I was just thinking about “the consent of the governed” today and poking around for a text copy of the Declaration of Independence, when I saw your post. I think you’re on to something! The big question is: are the majority of the governed in favor of abolishing democracy?
Lise, no, the majority want real democracy, government by the people, not by a dictator!
Hi! Lise, I saw a lot of news and blogs before I submitted
my revised Declaration of Independence above.
Here are some of other peoples’ thoughts!
https://www.westhawaiitoday.com/2025/03/11/opinion/elon-musks-grasp-of-self-governance/
(re: Elon Musk’s grasp of self-governance)
“Our nation was formed as an experiment in individual liberty, and it began with Thomas Jefferson’s pen giving voice to a series of objections about the king’s poor behavior. The Declaration of Independence was, at its heart, a rhetorical question to the monarch, demanding an answer to: “What, exactly, are you doing?””
https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/elon-musk-doge-lawsuit-dana-nessel-michigan-attorney-general-1235269515/
“The lawsuit grounds itself in the Declaration of Independence, which decried the rule of the King and his unaccountable cronies. And it claims that Musk’s role in government is an unconstitutional violation of the Constitution’s Appointments Clause. The relief it seeks is also stark: a judicial declaration that Musk’s government role requires Senate confirmation, and that his — and DOGE’s — actions to date have not been lawful, and must be reversed.”
https://www.recorder.com/My-Turn-Brown-58790965
“In the coming years, things might change drastically here in the land of the free, so it’s important that we acknowledge some of the basics that truly made America great long before the malevolent influence of MAGA Trumpism and Elon Musk came into play. …
…We can begin with the Founding Fathers, who managed to create a radical form of representative government (however limited in the beginning) at a time when the major nations of the world were ruled by kings, emperors, popes, tsars, warlords and other assorted authoritarians. Radical in that they literally put their lives on the line crafting the Declaration of Independence, after which they wrestled with the Constitution, which contains the Bill of Rights.”
More complaints on the internet about Elon Musk violating the Declaration of Independence!
https://www.techdirt.com/2025/02/14/no-personal-liability-for-doge-yet-but-with-two-more-lawsuits-we-get-closer/
“upon which liability claims would later be based. In addition to the AFGE litigation against OPM we already wrote about, which also names OPM itself for it wrongfully giving DOGE access to its systems, and the states’ lawsuit against the Treasury department for giving DOGE access to theirs, now we have (at this writing at least) two more lawsuits. But while those lawsuits were directed at specific agencies and the wrongfulness of Musk and DOGE’s misuse of power at these agencies, these new lawsuits come gunning for Musk and DOGE and their illegal seizure of power generally.”
THE ELON DODGE EMPEROR HAS NO CLOTHES
https://www.techdirt.com/2025/02/18/the-elon-doge-emperor-has-no-clothes/
“A powerful person says something obviously false, and everyone pretends not to notice. This is the plot of “The Emperor’s New Clothes,” where an entire kingdom maintains a collective delusion until one child (who, importantly, hasn’t yet learned the sophisticated art of lying to yourself) points out that hey, the emperor is naked. …
…If the Justice Department’s declaration is true and Elon really isn’t running DOGE, then federal employees should immediately stop bowing down to these threats.”

COMPLAINT FOR DECLATORY AND INJUNCTIVE RELIEF
1. Defendant Elon Musk is not, legally, the President of the United States,
nor is he a federal elected official of any kind. And Mr. Musk is not a Senate-confirmed officer of the United
States. But he and his so-called “Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE)—not, in fact, a
federal executive department—are lawlessly and unconstitutionally wielding sweeping power
across the executive branch. As Mr. Musk and DOGE lawlessly seize power over large swaths of
federal spending, decimate the federal workforce, and dismantle federal agencies, they are severely
harming, and threatening further imminent harm, to everyday Americans.
2. Mr. Musk and DOGE are running roughshod over the constitutional separation of
powers. Further, Mr. Musk is exercising the authority of a principal officer of the United States
without Senate confirmation—and, indeed, exercising authority even in excess of a principal
officer. These actions are ultra vires, violate the U.S. Constitution’s separation of powers, and, as
to Mr. Musk, also violate the Constitution’s Appointments Clause. Mr. Musk and DOGE’s lawless
actions threaten the bedrock of our democracy, and they are already causing severe harms in a
wide array of areas of daily life.
ETC., etc., etc. …

COMPLAINT FOR DECLARATORY RELIEF AND
INJUNCTIVE RELIEF
… Elon Musk, in his official capacity, as well as the United States DOGE Service and the
Department of Government Efficiency (collectively “DOGE”). In support thereof, upon personal
knowledge as well as information and belief, Plaintiffs allege the following:
NATURE OF THE ACTION
Defendant Elon Musk has an office in the White House, no supervising official, and a team
of individuals with wide-ranging government access whom he directs. Defendant Musk was the
driving force behind the creation of DOGE and acts as the de facto DOGE Administrator, despite
the lack of any formal announcement by President Donald J. Trump or any public process affiliated
with the selection of that position.
In his government role, Defendant Musk exercises an extraordinary amount of power.
… seemingly unfettered authority constitutes a grave violation of the separation-of-powers.
Questions regarding Defendant Musk’s and DOGE’s role, scope of authority, and proper
appointment processes are not merely academic. Plaintiffs—among countless other American
individuals and entities—have had their lives upended as a result of the actions undertaken by
Defendants Musk and DOGE.

Sent via email (hotline@oig.dot.gov)
Dear Acting Inspector General Behm:
Campaign Legal Center writes to request that the Office of the Inspector
General (“OIG”)
investigate whether the Federal Aviation Administration’s (“FAA”)
business transactions
with Elon Musk’s satellite internet company
are improper
due to violations of the criminal conflict of interest law,
18 U.S.C. § 208.
Specifically, public reports establish that the FAA began using Starlink services
and considering contracts with the company in response to Musk’s requests,
who is a special government employee (“SGE”)
and the CEO of Starlink.
Multiple FAA officials, including the Department of Transportation Secretary and one of the Department’s lead engineers,
publicly stated that Musk is the source of the
directives for the FAA to implement Starlink technology.
If Musk participated in or directed discussions
with FAA employees concerning business transactions
with Starlink,
he may have violated the criminal conflict of interest law
and corrupted
FAA’s business relationship with Starlink.

U.S. Senators Write Letter Asking About Elon Musk's National Security Conflicts of Interest
https://www.warren.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/warren_duckworth_letter_to_hegseth_on_musk_access_to_china_war_plans.pdf

The Honorable Pete Hegseth
Secretary of Defense
U.S. Department of Defense
1000 Defense Pentagon
Washington D.C., 20301-1000
Dear Secretary Hegseth:
We write seeking clarity on the meetings held by Elon Musk at the Pentagon today, with
questions about whether he received a “top-secret briefing on U.S. war plans for China” that
media reports from last night indicated would have provided him with access to information that
is “among the military’s most closely guarded secrets.”1 …
…
Mr. Musk has significant conflicts of interest that raise questions about his preparedness to
handle this closely guarded material. Mr. Musk has extensive business interests in China through
his automotive company, including a flagship factory in Shanghai that “was built with special
permission from the Chinese government” and “now accounts for more than half of [the
company]’s global deliveries.”8
He is also the chief executive of SpaceX, a major Pentagon
supplier, raising yet additional concerns about potential conflicts given Mr. Musk’s “extensive
financial interests in China.”9
Meanwhile, in public, Mr. Musk has “avoided criticizing Beijing
and signaled his willingness to work with the Chinese…
… Thank you for your attention to this serious national security matter.
Sincerely,
