Musk calls for impeachment of judge who blocked DOGE access at Treasury – The Hill

Excerpt:
Elon Musk is calling for the impeachment of the federal judge who made a decision early Saturday morning that the Treasury Department should block access to anyone “other than civil servants with a need for access to perform their job duties” from its payment systems.
The order explicitly prohibits special government employees and those detailed from outside the department from getting access to the systems, a designation that would cover Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
That appeared to anger Musk, who expressed his irritation in a few Saturday posts on the social platform X, which he owns.
“A corrupt judge protecting corruption,” Musk wrote in one post at 2:11 a.m. “He needs to be impeached NOW.”
That post was written in reply to a post by the conservative media pundit Glenn Beck.
Musk, the leader of DOGE, in an earlier post at 1:40 a.m. wrote “it’s time” in response to another post about impeaching judges who have ruled against actions by the Trump administration.
