Elon Musk is already being sued over the ultimatum he issued to federal workers over the weekend.

The Associated Press reports that the State Democracy Defenders Fund filed a newly amended lawsuit in a federal court in California on behalf of unions, businesses, veterans, and conservation organizations saying that Musk’s instructions for federal workers to list and explain five accomplishments from the previous week, or risk losing their jobs, violated the law.

    Civil cases are not something you can pardon for, only criminal cases (and only federal criminal cases for the president)

      Until he does it, law enforcement goes along with it, and suddenly it’s all “uh, actually, that’s never been tested, someone needs to sue over this so it can get kicked up to the Supreme Court in 5 years”.

      All of the rules are useless if those in power simply ignore them, and those with the most guns don’t stop them.
