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.

    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

      Yeah, that’s not gonna happen. The Democrats may be weak as shit right now, but I’d be shocked if they get a 2/3 of vote at all, let alone enough times to impeach all of the judges who are at least trying to stop musk and Trump from their project 2025 ambitions.
