Musk immediately calls for judges to be impeached after DOGE rulings
Federal agencies were ordered to reinstate tens of thousands of federal workers.
Summary
Elon Musk called for the impeachment of federal judges after courts blocked his DOGE from laying off probationary (new) federal workers.
Judges ordered agencies to reinstate tens of thousands of employees, ruling the firings unlawful. Musk claimed judicial resistance undermines democracy.
Musk has attacked judges on social media, calling them “corrupt” and “evil,” raising concerns among federal judges about their safety.
I call for him to be deported! Trump too!
Well he's just an unelected advisor so he can't call for shit
I call for Trump and Musk to be jailed
Musk has no legal right to call for such. Just blowing hot air if it were any other legislature
That’s why he bought the president.
Tar/feather and quarter
Drawn and quartered, with Tesla vehicles.
Very much so
Whatever happened to that Pence gallows they set up?
One of those is not like the others...
How hasn't Musk been arrested for being a dick?
They don't have the votes to convict unless Schumer caves on that too.
Why isn’t he in jail yet?
I guarantee you he has signed no papers. His name won't be in anything. In a court of law you'll have trouble proving he actually ordered anything at all. He is welding all this power completely outside of literally any accountability and Trump , Congress, and Trump's supporters are all fine with that.
This, it's actually why the courts haven't come after him specifically, because on paper it's been... some dementia ridden woman who's name is being used to rubber stamp shit while she's dying in a nursing home in Mexico.
I'm barely exaggerating
Seems like it would be real easy if Elon tells you you're fired just to respond with, "No thanks"
Probably can't find anyone with the balls to enforce the judgement
JJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
Yeah this smells pretty hard of criminal contempt of court among other things
Because he's a billionaire. Rules for thee but not for me.
How ironic that the guy who was never elected for anything is whining about democracy. And "corrupt"? Corrupt might as well be Elon's middle name.
Fortunately, there seems to be a growing resentment about that with the GOP electorate for this very issue. We’ll have to see if it’s enough to help tip the scales.
My local magats are still behind him, they think it’s criminal that people are protesting at our local Tesla dealership. I think at least one of them—who’s extremely anti EV, is considering a fucking Tesla. And he’s a car guy who has had multiple luxury cars, and knows Tesla build quality is garbage.
The irony is lost on him and anyone agreeing with him on this issue.
Respect the judiciary or leave the country.
We’ve been asking him to for a while but he won’t listen and he keeps giving money to the people who should be making him leave
Right? What is it that his ilk is always saying… if you don’t like it here, leave?
I didn't think I'd ever say this in earnest but I wish he would get deported back to where he came from.
Except SCOTUS. Fuck those (5) corrupt bastards
Elon Musk is mad there's a process in place to protect workers from being fired without reason? Color me shocked.
Small note for the summary: "probationary" in terms of government employees does not necessarily mean new, it means new in that role.
So, someone who has been working for the government for 20 years and was just promoted to a senior position is a probationary employee.
Yeah this makes it just so much fucking dumber. That they would try to claim that it's due to poor performance, when they are literally firing people who just got promoted.
I have a bunch of coworkers who were contractors in a position for about a decade, then transitioned over to GS employees doing the same job. They were classified as probationary due to being "new" to their positions and were put on notice.
That's not how that works.
Sure it is, if they can get 2/3 of the Senate to vote to impeach. And if they manage that, I think it's time to cut off some heads
Musk = POS Nazi.
What happened to the musk hate from the right? They're suddenly taking his word as gospel and sending death threats to Judges.
He kissed Trump’s ring to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars. Then he came out explicitly endorsing Trump. Plus, he’s a neo-Nazi shit bag.
That’s what happened
Stop listening to an African Nazi who has no power over the country.
For the strongest country in the world, Americas fucking weak.
Send Musk back to Africa. Fuck sakes America.
The power of the purse is in the hands of the democratically elected congress.
So to get on the same page as Elon, a government agency, formed through an executive order, being run by an unelected official, thinks that they have the power to to eliminate programs, jobs and funding from congressionally approved organizations. Got it.
I think it's about time this stuff is called out for being thinly veiled attempts at intimidation.
The problem is that they're not trying to hide it. They openly say this is how it's going to work now.
Look at Columbia. They refused to cooperate. Then they got 400 million yanked out from under them. And then they fell right in line.
Yep. Back to the Political Spoils system. We are in for a world of hurt if this doesn't get stopped soon.
If we cannot get rid of Musk how does Musk think he is gonna get rid of the judges?
This loser needs to stop sucking up oxygen
