Very disturbing. After successfully circumenting the legislative branch through intimidation tactics, Elon is now aggressively intimidating the judicial branch.
Elon Musk is calling for the impeachment of the federal judge who issued a ruling early Saturday morning, directing the Treasury Department to restrict access to its payment systems to ‘civil servants with a need for access to perform their job duties.’

NEW: Apparently the Dept of Energy has replaced its Chief Information Officer with a "network engineer from SpaceX" who has maybe run a service desk but has no other IT leadership experience, per a source with knowledge.
The DOE, among other things, oversees all nuclear security. So that's cool.

Think firing the entire federal workforce will save America money?
Federal civilian employees account for just 4% of the federal budget. Even if someone like Musk—or any president—fired all of us, it wouldn’t make much of a dent in government spending. Don’t fall for it.
