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.
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…
If we cannot get rid of Musk how does Musk think he is gonna get rid of the judges?
Hag!
“Evil old woman, considered frightful or ugly”. It’s twelve down.
“Fascism”
Wonderful.
YOU’RE wonderful ♡
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.
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.
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.
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 call for Trump and Musk to be jailed
Musk = POS Nazi.
This loser needs to stop sucking up oxygen
I call for him to be deported! Trump too!
They don’t have the votes to convict unless Schumer caves on that too.
Why isn’t he in jail yet?
Probably can’t find anyone with the balls to enforce the judgement
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.
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.
“fire these people” “no” “you’re fired” “ok now you fire these people” “ok”
There’s a reason real cabinet members do things the way they do - those governance structures were designed to allow them to wield executive power but maintain checks and balances - secretaries have to be senate confirmed, and there are actual ways in which they issue orders. Musk is operating outside of all of that, and wielding Trump’s personal power. Most Americans just don’t care.
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”
Yeah this smells pretty hard of criminal contempt of court among other things
JJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
Because he’s a billionaire. Rules for thee but not for me.
What happened to the musk hate from the right? They’re suddenly taking his word as gospel and sending death threats to Judges.

Am i misunderstanding, or are you saying the right is trying to stop having death threats to them? Which if that is correct, I’m not sure I’m following what you are saying.
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
Elon Musk is mad there’s a process in place to protect workers from being fired without reason? Color me shocked.
He was already pissed when they built the Tesla plant in Germany. Strong unions and worker rights and environmental protections. All the things he so heavily dislikes, the Muppet.
I thought he was a huge fan of the german way of doing things…
Only the fall of Weimar Republic, and the 12 years or so after that. Everything else is woke nonsense to him, I am sure.
being a lesbian married to an indian immigrant in switzerland is not too woke aslong as you are the fuhrerin of afd…
Not after 1945
That’s why he wants to make adolf great again…
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.
