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 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.
