Summary
Elon Musk has accused the U.S. judiciary of an “attempted coup” after a federal judge upheld a restraining order preventing his government efficiency task force, DOGE, from accessing federal payment systems.
DOGE has faced lawsuits for attempting to bypass congressional oversight, purge civil servants, and shut down federal agencies.
Critics argue his claims ignore constitutional checks and balances.
Over 40 lawsuits challenge Trump’s orders, many paused pending judicial review.
Elon Musk is really lucky Americans are so domesticated.
A free country would have skinned him alive by now
Every accusation is a confession.
As per standard procedure.
Yes, between Trump and Elon, they’re conducting a self coup.
“This is a DEI, insurrection, hostile take over coup! How dare they limit my ultimate POWER!!!”
Cry me a fucking river nazi
They know what they’re doing. Kill the language that describes what they are doing. Then you’re left with no way to properly express the severity of the issue without a long winded explanation that people will just ignore or tune out…
What a joke of a man.
Spidermen pointing
That would imply that they’re equal.
Spiderman pointing at doc oc then
A branch reasserting some checks and balances on another is hardly a coup. More like the opposite.
Elon Musk doesn’t like to play by the rules. It is men like this that make the choice between ballots or bullets far more clear. Edit for minor grammatical error.
F elon
This is brilliant
“Democracy in America is being destroyed by judicial coup"
- Elon on Twitter
Coup definition: “a sudden, violent, and unlawful seizure of power from a government.”
So, a federal judge putting the breaks on your dismantling of our government and its checks and balances is a “coup”? OK, does this mean we took the country back and we don’t have to worry about Musk or his VP Don anymore?
And if there is a judiciary in the US destroying our democracy it’s the Supreme Court, but oddly he has no issues with them.
Elon is South African. He doesn’t understand English. /s
Every one of these nazi DARVO statements should be met with the response “Read the Constitution” as pretty much every Federal employee is required to swear to uphold and defend that Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic (Musk and Trump)
War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, Ignorance is Strength.
Doublespeak and its use in Orwell’s 1984 was amongst other things inspired by how the Fascists’ main “argumentation” technique was twisting the meaning of words often so far beyond even the simplest logic that used one word to mean its opposite.
…stopping a coup is a coup.
Methinks the billionaire doth protest too much
The irony of a guy saying there’s a coup, coming from the guy trying to commit a government takeover coup style.
I wonder where the delineation from psychopathy and just being an asshole really exist? To my knowledge psychopathy isn’t a clinically diagnosable personality disorder, as it seems to require some aspect of privilege to perpetuate without completely isolating yourself.
With the amount of dweebs who instantly become “psychopaths” the moment they receive an iota of power over people, it really makes me wonder how many people lack genuine empathy. Are these people just utilizing false empathy as a way to fit in prior to their position of power, or is power really just that damaging to the psyche?
It’s just kinda horrifying how many nerds become rapist, naunces, or fascist the moment they think no one can bully them anymore. Does society need some kinds of system where we deputize some kind of ethical gymbro to give these dudes swirlies when they get out of hand?
Does society need some kinds of system where we deputize some kind of ethical gymbro to give these dudes swirlies when they get out of hand?
yes.
I guess we need to start a petition, and maybe some kind of sign up sheet for large ethical bullies?
and we gotta check in on them regularly to make sure they’re stayin’ ethical
I think this is underestimating them. They’re yelling “coup” so you ignore other people saying “coup” legitimately.
Came here to say this is IMAX levels of projection.
fElon Musk and his orange butt plug need to be removed, preferably to the farthest reaches of deep space – never to return.
Id settle for feeding them to the Joshua Trees.
Was gonna say guillotine, but I like this better. I’d sub to a 24hr livestream, even
This was the most massive one I could find. I hope that’s okay.
