Dear President Musk [1]

How about 1 million letters a month — old school protest. Weighs a lot, takes up space, has to be physically handled. Join me if you will.
Email is so easy, so fast so unobtrusive, so ignore-able. The lazy persons protest tool of choice and in my opinion the least effective. Consider all of the daily email spam you get every day. Most of mine goes directly to a spam folder I occasionally clear, the rest I routinely delete without reading. I imagine most of the email correspondence to politicians and The White House meet the same fate, perhaps being sorted according to one of he selected topics from the drop-down list, then archived in an electronic folder, never to be seen by the intended recipient. Perhaps a intern staffer will sort through some of the messages to select appropriate praise email to bolster the enormous ego of the politician.
Now consider the old school snail mail, either hand written or typed, placed in an envelope, sent through the U.S. Postal Service, and with other letters delivered to the White House office in a bundle or box. It takes up space, has a weight (about 11.25 grams), and a volume that is infinitely larger than the cumulative electrons comprising an email. Sending a snail mail costs $0.73 considerably less than bus fare or fuel cost to travel to a protest.
Imagine 1 million letters delivered around the first day of every month. That would be approximately 24,800 pounds or 12,401 tons of mail delivered in large boxes. Difficult to ignore. Of course Trump will not read any of them, since he is barely literate, but that is not the point since all of the correspondence will be addressed to President Elon Musk! We know Trump is not capable of complicated planning. The other fascist support staff are writing all of the documents for his pudgy little hand to sign with his big fat sharpie. Eventually the other old demented guy in the White house may get wind of all the attention Ketamine boy is getting, will blow a gasket and get rid of Musk, possibly or hopefully? Each letter should focus on one topic and should be satirical since MAGAs have zero sense of humor. Absolutely no threats of any sort of violence should be made or implied.
I will mail my first letter February 26 which should arrive on or about March 1 and I will send one letter a month for 4 years.
PRESIDENT ELON MUSK
c/o THE WHITE HOUSE
1600 PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE NW
WASHINGTON, DC 20500
My first letter will be something like the following.
Dear President Musk,
As a former Republican voter, I find your current poorly planned and executed task of increasing government efficiency a horrific failure. Much like the awful non-truck cybertruck, your plan does not work as promised and will cost much, much more in the end and will destroy government efficiency. Your mythical DOGE (is it pronounced doggy or dodgy?) agency is breaking laws, operates without any transparency, ignores factual information, lies about results, and will destroy the economy and plunge families into poverty. This is not the party of family values and low bacon and egg prices! I also see that you like collecting personal information like SS numbers, income and tax information. That information should net you quite a profit on the dark web.
Speaking of the dark web those tech baby bros (no women) you hired to do the dirty work look like an ad for male DEI. You better be careful with that as the MAGAts hate foreigners especially if they look kind of dark.
Sincerely,
My name
A Constitutional Patriot
