Skadden is one of the largest firms in the country and may be trump's next target

Donald Trump's administration has been in the news for its recent executive orders targeting law firms, including Perkins Coie LLP and Paul Weiss, that represented certain individuals and even groups who Trump sees as his political opponents, but now Elon Musk has added a new firm to the enemies list.

Over the weekend, Trump-pardoned conservative provocateur Dinesh D'Souza lobbed some accusations against Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP.

"Skadden Arps is the firm engaged in systematic lawfare against '2000 Mules' They have a army of 17 attorneys working pro-bono against me. I have 2 lawyers," according to D'Souza. "The Left's game is to ruin us through protracted, costly litigation."

D'Souza tagged Trump in the post, but it was Musk who weighed in.

"Skadden, this needs to stop now," Musk wrote. Some reports online suggest that Skadden has represented Musk in the past.

I hope that Skadden fights trump on this
