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.
Unelected idiot who wants to run the universe is mad that he is being stopped or questioned by a trained legal professional who spent years democratically building their career based on trust and the support of an entire legal system.
