Elon Musk

Musk gave more than $144,000 to more than two dozen Congress members who support impeaching judges or restricting their power

It’s rare to give money to candidates this soon before a midterm election, and an indication that Musk will do everything he can to help the GOP stay in power.

Some House members, such as Representative Brandon Gill of Texas, got the money from Musk almost immediately after introducing legislation to punish various judges. “I just introduced Articles of Impeachment against radical activist Judge James Boasberg,” Gill wrote on X on March 18. “He is guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors and should be removed from office.” The next day, Musk gave Gill’s committee $6,600, the Post reported.

Musk donated the same amount, which is the upper limit of the per-race maximum, to Senator Chuck Grassley, who introduced legislation to limit judicial powers, and Representative Derrick Van Orden, who introduced a bill to impeach U.S. District Judge Paul A. Engelmayer.*

As the Trump administration faces a flurry of lawsuits, Musk is desperately trying to discredit judges who rule against the president. He’s called for the impeachment of judges who tried to block the Department of Government Efficiency’s unlawful dismantling of federal agencies, offered people money to sign a petition against “activist judges,” and made dozens of ludicrous claims against his judicial enemies on social media.

I can completely understand this. When laws get in the way, it’s vital to get rid of judges who do what they’re supposed to do.

Almost 91 years ago, on April 24, 1934, Hitler established the People's Courts, requiring judges to swear an oath of loyalty to the Nazis. This move granted the Nazi party greater influence over sentencing, particularly for political opponents and those deemed criminals. The People's Courts effectively stripped judges of their independence, allowing the Nazis to control the legal system and persecute individuals deemed threats. 

It seems that Palpatine is moving a little slower than Hitler, but inexorably in the same direction.
