Elon Musk Calls for ‘Wave of Impeachments’ Against Federal Judges
Musk Seeks ‘Wave of Impeachments’ For Federal Judges
As a result of recent court judgments that have hampered initiatives undertaken by the Trump administration, Elon Musk, who is the chairman of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), has called for a “wave of judicial impeachments.
” Elon Musk responded to a decision reached by United States District Judge John Bates by posting a series of remarks on his social media network, which is known as X.
The decision that Judge Bates made to restore government health datasets that had been removed was highly criticized by Musk, who claimed that the judgment was motivated by a conflict of interest.

Following the issuance of an executive order by President Donald Trump that prohibited the government from promoting “gender ideology,” this verdict was announced.
The progressive physicians’ group known as Doctors for America, who argued that the removal of the information was in violation of federal law, was successful in getting Judge Bates to agree with them.

In a related case, Musk urged for the impeachment of a different federal judge who had temporarily restricted DOGE’s access to data held by the Treasury Department.
A preliminary injunction was issued by United States District Judge Paul Engelmayer, which prevents the Department of the Treasury from accessing Treasury databases that contain the personal financial information of millions of consumers in the United States.
A further requirement of the ruling was that DOGE must destroy any documents of this kind that it had obtained after January 20.

President Trump has voiced his dissatisfaction with various judicial decisions, particularly those that impede the Department of Government Enterprises’ (DOGE) efforts to uncover and eliminate inefficiencies inside the government.
He questioned the logic behind court judgments that, in his opinion, require the government to make payments despite proof of fraud and waste on his Truth Social platform.
He said that these decisions are a waste of time and money.

In a similar subject, the Chairwoman of the Federal Election Commission (FEC), Ellen Weintraub, is putting up a fight against an attempt by President Trump to remove her from her office.
The President sent Weintraub a letter on January 31 informing her that she would be leaving her position as a member of the Federal Election Commission (FEC), which she has held since 2002.
She has made a public statement in which she challenges the constitutionality of this move, noting that there is a lawful mechanism for changing FEC commissioners, which she believes was not followed in this particular instance.
