Elon Musk threw a tantrum after his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) was dealt a series of legal setbacks, immediately calling for the impeachment of federal judges. “Without judicial reform, which means at least the absolute worst judges get impeached, we don’t have real democracy in America,” Musk said on X.

He reacted after federal agencies were ordered on Thursday to immediately reinstate tens of thousands of federal workers with probationary status who had been laid off by DOGE as part of its sweeping government cost-cutting efforts, dealing a blow to Musk, as he seeks to eventually reduce the deficit by $1 trillion. Musk has been on a mission since President Donald Trump returned to the White House to overhaul the federal workforce, and has claimed to have slashed tens of billions in wasteful spending so far—partly by firing thousands of federal workers across multiple agencies.

A multistate lawsuit had accused the federal government of unlawfully firing tens of thousands of probationary employees and claimed the terminations occurred without transparency, placing excessive strain on state unemployment support systems and causing economic damage.

In response, an order by Judge James Bredar of the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland—which expires March 27—requires that 18 federal agencies must offer jobs back to the probationary workers affected since Trump took office. They have until 1 p.m. Monday to rehire their terminated employees, The Washington Post reported.

[liberal N proud]

1. Musk needs to be deported

Sick of this creep having so much unelected power

[liberalgunwilltravel]

7. Decapitation

Would also be acceptable.

[Aristus]

15. With a very dull axe, preferably.

No wimping out with a guillotine.

[GreenWave]

27. By a very slow, inaccurate executioner worthy of Monty Python!

[Trueblue1968]

21. To echo you oerhaos it is time to Bring on the French Madame Guillotine.

[GiqueCee]

29. Or defenestration...

... from a window high enough that he has time to think about his catastrophic errors in judgment.

[jmowreader]

46. That's too Russian

But we have lots and lots of prisons he could be sent to.

[PatSeg]

12. That was my reaction as well

"Elon, go back to where you came from. You're not welcome here anymore."

[paleotn]

34. Deported? Summary execution.

[sinkingfeeling]

2. He can drop the f*ck dead. No one elected him.

[LaRaven]

3. Who the hell is he to make this claim🤬

[Deuxcents]

16. I wish I had a nickel for every time I've asked that question..

[Justice matters.]

43. The buffoon on ketamine is the new unelected president

selected by the new always mad king... thanks to the corrupt robert's court...

[maxsolomon]

4. Fine. Impeach them.

Fairly certain even Schumer and Fetterman wouldn't vote to convict.

[pfitz59]

5. Musk carries Little X around as a human shield.

Knowing full well he's a moving target. Eventually enough folk will tire of his antics, and he will be gone. Tes-ler is tanking and lawsuits are being filed over his Starlink and SpaceX conflicts of interest. Richest man in the world or not he has made himself 'Enemy Number 1" of the American people.

[travelingthrulife]

17. Yes, he is willfully endangering his child.

I want him deported but I also want him to personally pay for the damage he is doing to our country.

[bronxiteforever]

6. Musk feeling the vitamin K

[twodogsbarking]

8. Not unlike Trump there is an expectation by many that Musk will act human.

[HeartsCanHope]

48. Yeah, right! highplainsdem nailed it with this post about Elon's personal philosophy,

https://www.democraticunderground.com/100220038006
Elon's inhuman!

[no_hypocrisy]

9. Hey Judges! Remember to invoke the FRIVOLOUS LAWSUIT stuff when

answering. And ask for Musk's attorneys to be disciplined, disbarred if necessary.

[CousinIT]

10. I'm no lawyer or judicial expert but I don't see how these impeachments of judges Muskrat dislikes...

....would go anywhere.

Let him whine.

[rsdsharp]

11. I don't think Eloon understands how impeachment works.

Without 67 votes in the Senate, impeachment means nothing. It’s the conviction that counts, and that ain’t happening.

[BumRushDaShow]

13. But if you have foaming-at-the-mouth loon GOPers

who do go through with submitting it and won't table it, then that judge gets pulled off the bench to sit through a circus side show "hearing". And if loons are vindictive enough and vote to impeach - even if it doesn't get 67 votes in the Senate, that judge is STILL off the bench wasting time in a kangaroo court "trial", as the cases back up, and no government business gets done in Congress.

[rsdsharp]

14. Did Clinton sit through his impeachment? Did Trump?

[BumRushDaShow]

28. Those are Presidents

We are talking judges.

I remember Alcee Hastings' impeachment and he was there.



He was impeached in the House AND convicted in the Senate, meaning he lost his judgeship. But he came back to D.C. a couple years later after running for Congress as a Rep. from Florida (initially FL-23 then FL-20), and served there for almost 20 years until he passed away a couple years ago.

[rsdsharp]

37. Hastings was impeached for perjury and bribery

There are not 67 votes to convict on an impeachment based on an Elon Musk tantrum, and no requirement for the defendant to appear during the trial.

[BumRushDaShow]

38. And?

That was because he managed to get acquitted in federal court for the same.

And I didn't say they would convict and remove - only that just like what happened to Mayorkas - having WASTE OF TIME show hearings and a trial (if neither get tabled or sent to Committee). They do things for "show" and have a dear leader who is running a "reality show" for "ratings".

[Archae]

18. Same asshole who said Hitler didn't kill millions, public servants did.

Deport this neo-nazi.

[Rebl2]

19. Eloon

You have no say in this. You are NOT an elected official.

[Daleuhlmann]

20. Let the Fucker Stroke Out!

This Nazi doesn't know the meaning of the word "democracy."

[Shipwack]

22. Or what?

In response, an order by Judge James Bredar of the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland—which expires March 27—requires that 18 federal agencies must offer jobs back to the probationary workers affected since Trump took office. They have until 1 p.m. Monday to rehire their terminated employees, The Washington Post reported.

Emphasis mine.

And if they don't rehire them, or drag their feet, what then?

Yeah, yeah, I'm seeing the half-empty glass. And I'm happy to see Trump's Keystone Lawyers humiliated and failed. I'm just not holding my breath until the inevitable Supreme Court ruling is issued...

[solara]

23. Who the hell is elon musk to 'throw a tanty'

after which he immediately calls for the impeachment of federal judges because they did not obey him?

musk has no power here.. he is an insurrectionist; an unelected, unconfirmed usurper; a phony; a money-grabber; a fake bureaucrat; an arguably mentally-ill (though crazy-rich) toady for a pathetic and obviously mentally compromised pretender currently inhabiting the 'oval'.

There is nothing 'official' about musk and clearly there must be consequences for the troubling crimes he has committed against We The People; our country and our Constitution.

[malaise]

24. Lock up this South African pro apartheid Nazi.

That is all

[BumRushDaShow]

32. Hello!

Got me a visit from you!

[malaise]

39. Ha 😀

I read your threads in LBN but I rarely post here.

[BumRushDaShow]

40. I do try to get over to GD when I can

[MissouriDem47]

25. Evidently

Musk has no concept of three coequal branches of government or the idea of checks and balances.

[lastlib]

26. Go Fuck A Cactus, E-loon!

preferably an old dry saguaro.

Then do same with a porcupine.

[OldBaldy1701E]

30. I think that every single time he holds a presser, they should ask for his citizenship papers.

Even if it is just some press standing outside of a place he is entering of leaving.

Make him prove he can be here over and over and over again.

[J_William_Ryan]

31. "Elon Musk threw a tantrum..."

The rulings against Trump are consistent with the law and policy; the executive branch has the authority to discharge Federal employees but must follow established policies, procedures, and the law – Trump failed to do that.

The only person who needs to be impeached is Trump.

[tishaLA]

33. Have some ketamine, Edolph. Lots of it.

It'll calm your nerves

[Marvin Jones]

35. Oh, Please

What a hoot! The man who stood behind a podium adorned with the SEAL OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES and made two Nazi salutes is talking about democracy? Hey, illegal immigrant, go back to South Africa.

[ailsagirl]

36. He's certifiable-- they both are

[isitreal]

41. Musk needs a civics lesson

The USA form of government is not a pure democracy. Maybe if he had gone to a good public school in the USA he would have learned this in Middle school or High school civics. These very important classes seem are being dropped as a requirement in many areas of the country. So important to learn. We vote for people to represent us.

Also
Our Constitution and amendments to the constitution with laws following on those stipulations are set up in an attempt to keep the majority from oppressing the minority. Otherwise a majority could creat laws that are really unfair to the people on the minority side of the issues. Maybe what the current people in power appear to be doing in opposition to the constitution.

From a google query:
The US government, a federal republic, is structured with a separation of powers among three branches: legislative (Congress), executive (President), and judicial (federal courts), as defined in the Constitution.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
Federal Republic:
The United States is a federal republic, meaning power is divided between a central (federal) government and individual state governments.
Three Branches of Government:
Legislative Branch: This branch, composed of the Congress (Senate and House of Representatives), is responsible for making laws.
Executive Branch: Led by the President, this branch enforces laws and is responsible for foreign policy and national security.
Judicial Branch: This branch, headed by the Supreme Court, interprets laws and ensures they are applied fairly.

It seems he and other do not want to follow this structure

[Seinan Sensei]

44. Musk should be required to take the naturalization test again

And pass all 100 of the civics questions
Same goes for anyone who aspires to the Presidency
Including -- and ESPECIALLY including -- F*ckface von Clownstick

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

42. Stuck in the K hole again Eloon?

We need to deport your drugged out ass.

[Autumn]

45. "Government of the people, by the people" no longer exists. It's now governenment by Elon Musk,

for Elon Musk. It's a damn shame politicians who were elected by the people, have all allowed it to come to this because they have no courage.

[Evolve Dammit]

47. I want to hear from Grimes about her experiences with this sick fuck. She knows all. Spill it girl.
