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.
Well he’s just an unelected advisor so he can’t call for shit
How hasn’t Musk been arrested for being a dick?
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.
I call for Trump and Musk to be jailed
Tar/feather and quarter
One of those is not like the others…
Drawn and quartered, with Tesla vehicles.
Whatever happened to that Pence gallows they set up?
They don’t have the votes to convict unless Schumer caves on that too.
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…
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
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?
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.
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.
Respect the judiciary or leave the country.
Except SCOTUS. Fuck those (5) corrupt bastards
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.
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.
