Summary

Judge Tanya Chutkan, who presided over Donald Trump’s election interference case, has been assigned a major lawsuit challenging Elon Musk’s authority in the federal government.

The suit, filed by 14 states, claims Musk wields unprecedented executive power, including control over federal funds and agencies.

Chutkan, a frequent Trump critic, previously imposed a gag order on him.

While Trump and Musk have yet to comment, right-wing figures are already attacking Chutkan, signaling an upcoming political and legal battle over executive power.

      No doubt, he’s not absolved in any capacity. I just feel bad for the actual child he once was, not the man that child became

        I feel this way about Barron Trump every time I see him. He’s barely got any chance of leading a decent, moral life. I guarantee mental health issues have already begun to manifest. For fuck’s sake his dad named the kid after his alter ego, John Barron.
