Tar/feather and quarter
Whatever happened to that Pence gallows they set up?
Drawn and quartered, with Tesla vehicles.
Very much so

Musk has no legal right to call for such. Just blowing hot air if it were any other legislature
That’s why he bought the president.
Well he's just an unelected advisor so he can't call for shit
How hasn't Musk been arrested for being a dick?
I call for him to be deported! Trump too!
How ironic that the guy who was never elected for anything is whining about democracy. And "corrupt"? Corrupt might as well be Elon's middle name.
Fortunately, there seems to be a growing resentment about that with the GOP electorate for this very issue. We’ll have to see if it’s enough to help tip the scales.
We’ll have to see if it’s enough to help tip the scales.
If Trump and Musk have their way, November 2024 was the last time they will be using scales.
It’s debatable whether scales were used even then. But I get what you’re saying.
Trump straight up admitted that they rigged the election like 2 days ago.
and 2 days before that, and 4 days before that, he's been steadily skwaking about that. I don't know if it's a gloat or an intended button to press. I'd like to see someone challenge him to prove it, he couldn't stop himself.
He's far more certain that another coup won't erase him than I am. (which is admittedly not 50% yet but still)
He always gloats. He loves to put out the message that he can do anything with impunity.
And that will be true until he is stopped.

What about a big, upright scale, with a heavy blade at the top? Ask the French about it.

Why isn’t he in jail yet?
I guarantee you he has signed no papers. His name won't be in anything. In a court of law you'll have trouble proving he actually ordered anything at all. He is welding all this power completely outside of literally any accountability and Trump , Congress, and Trump's supporters are all fine with that.
So he says, "fire these people" and they just do it? If that's how it's been going that's even worse than the madness I thought it was.
"fire these people" "no" "you're fired" "ok now you fire these people" "ok"
There's a reason real cabinet members do things the way they do - those governance structures were designed to allow them to wield executive power but maintain checks and balances - secretaries have to be senate confirmed, and there are actual ways in which they issue orders. Musk is operating outside of all of that, and wielding Trump's personal power. Most Americans just don't care.
This, it's actually why the courts haven't come after him specifically, because on paper it's been... some dementia ridden woman who's name is being used to rubber stamp shit while she's dying in a nursing home in Mexico.
I'm barely exaggerating

Probably can't find anyone with the balls to enforce the judgement
JJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
Yeah this smells pretty hard of criminal contempt of court among other things
Because he's a billionaire. Rules for thee but not for me.
Respect the judiciary or leave the country.
We’ve been asking him to for a while but he won’t listen and he keeps giving money to the people who should be making him leave

Elon Musk is mad there's a process in place to protect workers from being fired without reason? Color me shocked.
He was already pissed when they built the Tesla plant in Germany. Strong unions and worker rights and environmental protections. All the things he so heavily dislikes, the Muppet.

They don't have the votes to convict unless Schumer caves on that too.
Small note for the summary: "probationary" in terms of government employees does not necessarily mean new, it means new in that role.
So, someone who has been working for the government for 20 years and was just promoted to a senior position is a probationary employee.
Yeah this makes it just so much fucking dumber. That they would try to claim that it's due to poor performance, when they are literally firing people who just got promoted.

That's not how that works.
It kinda is now.
However, impeachment of judges requires 2/3rd in the senate. That's the more important thing to note
Fetterman just took over Manchin's position as Senate DINO. Schumer left his entire party high and dry at the last minute and out of nowhere to vote with Trump. That 2/3 vote may be a lot closer than you think.

Musk = POS Nazi.
What happened to the musk hate from the right? They're suddenly taking his word as gospel and sending death threats to Judges.
He kissed Trump’s ring to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars. Then he came out explicitly endorsing Trump. Plus, he’s a neo-Nazi shit bag.
That’s what happened
