Elon Musk and other Trump administration allies ramp up efforts to discredit judges who stand in the way of White House efforts to slash federal jobs and programs.

Musk, the world’s richest person, has lambasted judges in more than 30 posts since the end of January on his social media site X.

Musk and congressional Republicans and other top allies of Donald Trump have called for the impeachment of some federal judges or attacked their integrity in response to court rulings.

US district Judge Amir Ali ruled on 25 February that the Trump administration must resume US foreign aid payments that Trump had halted.

Musk and other allies of the president called for the judge’s removal.

Some of the judge's followers on X said the judge should be arrested for treason or deported.
