Musk apparently responded to DOGE's restricted access to the treasury payment system by saying he hopes to fire the worst 1% of appointed judges determined by the election body every year.

Odaily Planet Daily News Musk posted on the X platform: "I hope to fire the worst 1% of appointed judges determined by the election body every year. This will eliminate the most corrupt and incompetent people." He then forwarded a news comment that "The New York Attorney General knew about the special event of 'Judge issued an emergency order to suspend DOGE's access to the treasury payment system' on Friday night when selecting judges" and commented that "it sounds illegal", which seems to express his attitude and respond to this matter.
