Summary
Elon Musk called for U.S. District Judge Paul Engelmayer’s impeachment after the judge blocked his department, DOGE, from accessing sensitive Treasury records.
DOGE has faced criticism for its broad data access. Engelmayer ruled that only specialized civil servants could access Treasury records and ordered DOGE to destroy any obtained data.
Musk and GOP figures condemned the ruling, but judicial impeachment remains rare, with only eight judges removed since 1803.
The next court hearing is set for February 14.
Musk’s latest judicial meltdown proves he’s allergic to consequences. When the courts don’t bow to his tantrums, he screams “impeachment” like a toddler demanding a new toy chest. Newsflash, Elon: judges aren’t your code monkeys.
His “free speech absolutist” shtick crumbles faster than a Dogecoin rug pull. Now he’s just another billionaire brat trying to bully the legal system because it dared to… checks notes… enforce laws. Meanwhile, his fanboys spin conspiracy theories while European regulators laugh into their actual rulebooks.
Democracy’s a dumpster fire? Absolutely. But watching Musk speedrun institutional collapse for clout? Priceless.
