Read our privacy policy Elon Musk wants a federal judge to be “fired” after Donald Trump’s administration was ordered to restore public health data that was removed from government websites. “This evil judge must be fired!” said Musk, sharing a photograph of Washington, D.C. District Judge John Bates on his X platform. Bates granted a temporary restraining order this week following a lawsuit from a group of physicians and healthcare providers who warned that the abrupt removal of websites and data sets from federal public health agencies like the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Food and Drug Administration posed a “serious threat” to public health. “This is the continuation of the weaponization of justice against President Trump.” In response to lawsuits, federal judges have also blocked the administration from unilaterally redefining the 14th Amendment’s birthright citizenship clause, firing thousands of aid workers, and imposing a deadline for more than 2 million federal workers to accept so-called “buyout” offers, among other actions.
