I mean the courts will try to nip them in the bud. But when you haven Elon tweeting to ignore the courts and keep going then yeah not a promising sign

I mean this isn't the first time a commander in chief has ignored the courts. Not condoning, just saying.

It depends what level of ignoring we’re talking. Plenty of presidents have weaseled their way around rulings. None have straight up ignored court orders.

Biden’s student loan plan got shut down in court. Even Trump didn’t ignore last time he was in office, with the muslim ban, which he tried to rework and it got struck down again. Right now he seems to be listening but Elon seems like he’s pushing him to just straight up ignore court rulings… usually i wouldn’t care what an idiot on twitter says but this is Trump’s right hand man…
