DOGE Head Elon Musk Advocates for Judicial Impeachment.
Elon Musk, Head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), has publicly called for judicial reform in the United States. This statement follows commentary on social media platform X regarding a ruling against the former Trump administration.
Musk, reacting to a post highlighting perceived judicial overreach, asserted that “without judicial reform, which means at least the absolute worst judges get impeached, we don’t have real democracy in America.”
This statement comes amidst a period of heightened scrutiny of judicial decisions, particularly in relation to policies enacted during the previous administration. The implication of Musk’s statement suggests a desire for increased accountability within the judicial branch, potentially through impeachment proceedings. The long-term impact of this commentary on the ongoing discourse surrounding judicial independence remains to be seen.
