(TheRedAlertNews.com) – Leaving no doubts how outraged he is, Elon Musk is now making headlines by demanding the impeachment of U.S. District Judge Paul Engelmayer over a court ruling.
See the tweet below!
The judge’s controversial ruling halts Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) from accessing transactions at the U.S. Treasury.
This move has ignited a firestorm of debate over judicial overreach and regulatory stifling of innovation.
Musk has been vocally critical of Judge Engelmayer, accusing him of being “a corrupt judge protecting corruption,” following the judge’s decision made on a Saturday morning.
The ruling blocks DOGE from accessing sensitive Treasury records, raising concerns about transparency and accountability.
Musk argues that Judge Engelmayer’s decision is an impediment to his mission to modernize federal technology.
The Department of Government Efficiency, established by President Donald Trump, aims to enhance governmental efficiency.
However, with the judge’s current verdict, only specialized civil servants can access the Treasury records, excluding political appointees like Musk.
This restriction will stand until a court hearing slated for February 14.
“Elon Musk has called for the impeachment of Federal Judge Paul Engelmayer following a ruling on Saturday morning that restricts his Department of Government Efficiency’s (DOGE) access to the Treasury Department’s payment systems,” WIONews reports.
Elon Musk argues that the judge’s ruling is “absolutely insane,” stating it stymies efforts to uncover government inefficiencies and fraud.
Musk has suggested an annual review process for the least productive judges, which would necessitate impeachment by the House and conviction by the Senate.
Despite his push for accountability, such impeachments are historically rare, with just 15 judges impeached and eight removed since 1803.
While Musk’s call for action has support, critics warn it could destabilize judicial independence.
The Brennan Center for Justice underscores the risk of undermining the courts if impeachment is used as a political tool against rulings some may find disagreeable.
This unfolding situation illustrates the ongoing tension between Musk’s ambitions in the cryptocurrency space and regulatory oversight.
As this legal battle continues, the nation’s attention remains riveted on whether the power players in Silicon Valley can influence federal policies, or if the regulatory frameworks will curb technological giants’ reach.
Elon Musk has called for the impeachment of Judge Paul Engelmayer, who blocked DOGE’s access to Treasury data: “A corrupt judge protecting corruption. He needs to be impeached NOW!” While I have concern over aspects of Engelmayer's order, it is not a matter for impeachment…
