Elon Musk has had it with judges blocking the Trump administration’s moves.
The billionaire face of DOGE called for the impeachment of judges in a meltdown on X Tuesday night, following a flurry of court orders blocking the government’s bids to freeze funding for foreign aid and federal grants, as well as stem refugee admissions.
“The only way to restore rule of the people in America is to impeach judges,” Musk wrote in one post. “No one is above the law, including judges.”
“If ANY judge ANYWHERE can block EVERY Presidential order EVERYWHERE, we do NOT have democracy, we have TYRANNY of the JUDICIARY,” he added in another.
Earlier on Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Amir Ali in Washington, D.C., gave the Trump administration less than two days to release billions of dollars in foreign aid after noting that the government had failed to comply with a previous order to ease the funding freeze.
U.S. District Judge Loren AliKhan in D.C. also extended an order blocking the Trump administration’s sweeping funding freeze that paused grants, loans, and other forms of financial support.
In Seattle, U.S. District Judge Jamal Whitehead halted President Donald Trump’s suspension of the refugee admissions system, arguing that the president could not nullify a law passed by Congress that established the program.
All three judges were appointed by former President Joe Biden, which further incensed MAGAworld.
“What is the point of having democratic elections if unelected activist ‘judges’ can override the clear will of the people?” Musk said in another X post. “Well, that’s no democracy at all!”
“We must impeach to save democracy,” he added.
Musk also reposted a comment from Republican senator Mike Lee that read: “Corrupt judges should be impeached and removed.”
Tennessee Rep. Andy Ogles, also a Republican, similarly urged his followers to repost “if you support impeaching corrupt judges.”
“It is essential or democracy dies,” Musk responded.
Neither Lee, Ogles or Musk provided evidence for the corruption allegations.
Ogles earlier introduced articles of impeachment against U.S. District Judge John Bates, who rolled back the Trump administration’s purge of public health webpages containing information related to gender. Ogles also proposed amending the Constitution to allow a third Trump term.
The U.S. Constitution divides the government into three branches—executive, legislative, and judicial—to ensure a system of checks and balances that prevents any branch from gaining too much power.
Prior to Tuesday’s rulings, several other judges had blocked the Trump administration’s sweeping efforts to overhaul the federal government.
Earlier this month, Trump appeared to imply in a cryptic social media post that he was willing to break the law to implement his agenda.
“He who saves his Country does not violate any Law,” Trump wrote in a post that was blasted to both Truth Social and X.
