I mean, it's not easy to be a judge. Doing good by making sure the law is applied correctly and fairly is precisely the POINT of them. (Obviously not to these "people")
“Democracy in America is being destroyed by judicial coup"
- Elon on Twitter
Coup definition: "a sudden, violent, and unlawful seizure of power from a government."
So, a federal judge putting the brakes on your dismantling of our government and its checks and balances is a "coup"? OK, does this mean we took the country back and we don't have to worry about Musk or his VP Don anymore?
And if there is a judiciary in the US destroying our democracy it's the Supreme Court, but oddly he has no issues with them.
Edit Spelling is my nemesis, and autocorrect is the enemy of my enemy, but I hate them both.
Every one of these nazi DARVO statements should be met with the response "Read the Constitution" as pretty much every Federal employee is required to swear to uphold and defend that Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic (Musk and Trump)
War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, Ignorance is Strength.
Doublespeak and its use in Orwell's 1984 was amongst other things inspired by how the Fascists' main "argumentation" technique was twisting the meaning of words often so far beyond even the simplest logic that used one word to mean its opposite.
...stopping a coup is a coup.
Elon is South African. He doesn't understand English. /s

"Breaks" are things that are broken, either physically, or figuratively.

I wonder where the delineation from psychopathy and just being an asshole really exist? To my knowledge psychopathy isn't a clinically diagnosable personality disorder, as it seems to require some aspect of privilege to perpetuate without completely isolating yourself.
With the amount of dweebs who instantly become "psychopaths" the moment they receive an iota of power over people, it really makes me wonder how many people lack genuine empathy. Are these people just utilizing false empathy as a way to fit in prior to their position of power, or is power really just that damaging to the psyche?
It's just kinda horrifying how many nerds become rapist, naunces, or fascist the moment they think no one can bully them anymore. Does society need some kinds of system where we deputize some kind of ethical gymbro to give these dudes swirlies when they get out of hand?

Every accusation is a confession.
As per standard procedure.
Elon Musk is really lucky Americans are so domesticated.
A free country would have skinned him alive by now
“This is a DEI, insurrection, hostile take over coup! How dare they limit my ultimate POWER!!!”
Cry me a fucking river nazi
Methinks the billionaire doth protest too much
Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?
Elon over here pulling the old "I know you are but what am I" strategy. Truly a genius.
Remember, do not let R leadership or magas in your circle get away with DARVO. It's how they try to "Win" when you call them out. He's doing it right here.

This is brilliant
attempted coup
Never forget: the P in GOP stands for "projection".
The irony of a guy saying there's a coup, coming from the guy trying to commit a government takeover coup style.
Hey Elon… blow me
Careful what you ask for. I have to think it would be sticky-dry and toothy.
Idk, he does have a big mouth
You don't want k all over your dick tho
What a joke of a man.
...a joke of a child. A spoilt one at that.
A branch reasserting some checks and balances on another is hardly a coup. More like the opposite.
They know what they're doing. Kill the language that describes what they are doing. Then you're left with no way to properly express the severity of the issue without a long winded explanation that people will just ignore or tune out....
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.
I'm not trying to commit a coup, you are!
fElon Musk and his orange butt plug need to be removed, preferably to the farthest reaches of deep space -- never to return.
Id settle for feeding them to the Joshua Trees.
Was gonna say guillotine, but I like this better. I'd sub to a 24hr livestream, even
This guy does not even deserve to be laughed at. Such a loser. Not even talking about his fanboys.

Elon Musk doesn't like to play by the rules. It is men like this that make the choice between ballots or bullets far more clear. Edit for minor grammatical error.
