Elon doesn't (or shouldn't) have the power to fire anyone. Yet he just threatened every federal employee. He says President Trump sent instructions, but I haven't seen anyone post proof.infinity ag said:TA-OP said:
I eagerly await Elon Musk firing all the department heads. That's what the other thread said should happen in response to non-compliance.
Don't think Elon has the power too. This isn't X or SpaceX where he can do whatever he wants.
Elon now has egg on his face.
Heck, Trump could appoint Elon as a 5 star general and tell him to fire whomever in the military.
The Executive is much, much more powerful than it has been used for over the past few decades. But they continually capitulated to Congress and to the Judicial as the Deep State propagated through government.
People really need to buckle up cause Team Trump is going to challenge all the norms. This is in direct response to the Biden admin and the Obama cabal violating the norms to prevent Trump from being elected, re-elected and trying to disgrace and humiliate and jail him through lawfare.
Add in the Dems trying to kill him... twice and I would not be so confident in saying "Trump and Elon cannot do that".
We are in uncharted territory and its glorious and much needed to save our Country.
