Summary
Elon Musk has accused the U.S. judiciary of an “attempted coup” after a federal judge upheld a restraining order preventing his government efficiency task force, DOGE, from accessing federal payment systems.
DOGE has faced lawsuits for attempting to bypass congressional oversight, purge civil servants, and shut down federal agencies.
Critics argue his claims ignore constitutional checks and balances.
Over 40 lawsuits challenge Trump’s orders, many paused pending judicial review.
Coup definition: “a sudden, violent, and unlawful seizure of power from a government.”
So, a federal judge putting the brakes on your dismantling of our government and its checks and balances is a “coup”? OK, does this mean we took the country back and we don’t have to worry about Musk or his VP Don anymore?
And if there is a judiciary in the US destroying our democracy it’s the Supreme Court, but oddly he has no issues with them.

Doublespeak and its use in Orwell’s 1984 was amongst other things inspired by how the Fascists’ main “argumentation” technique was twisting the meaning of words often so far beyond even the simplest logic that used one word to mean its opposite.
…stopping a coup is a coup.
Every one of these nazi DARVO statements should be met with the response “Read the Constitution” as pretty much every Federal employee is required to swear to uphold and defend that Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic (Musk and Trump)
