Elon Musk is already being sued over the ultimatum he issued to federal workers over the weekend.

The Associated Press reports that the State Democracy Defenders Fund filed a newly amended lawsuit in a federal court in California on behalf of unions, businesses, veterans, and conservation organizations saying that Musk’s instructions for federal workers to list and explain five accomplishments from the previous week, or risk losing their jobs, violated the law.

    Lawsuits don’t mean dick to the rich.

    If it goes to court, and if they’re found guilty and if the judge actually imposes a penalty, then it’ll be a tiny sliver of their wealth. A tap on the wrist. They’ll pay it with a tax free loan.

      Precisely. If one of us plebs gets sued, that’s essentially life over. You stand zero chance against an entire gaggle of Ivy league trained shysters working around the clock, no matter how much the ‘law’ is in your favor.
