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.

    Musk has no legal right to call for such. Just blowing hot air if it were any other legislature

      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

        So he says, “fire these people” and they just do it? If that’s how it’s been going that’s even worse than the madness I thought it was.

    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.
