Elon Musk's approval rating plunges to new low
Elon Musk's job approval rating dropped to 41 percent, with his personal approval falling even lower, at just 38 percent.
Summary
Elon Musk’s job approval dropped to 41%—his lowest since joining the Trump administration—according to a Marquette Law School poll.
His favorability fell to 38%, while 58% disapproved of his work leading DOGE.
The decline follows backlash over Musk’s political involvement, including his $22 million support of Brad Schimel, who lost Wisconsin’s Supreme Court race.
Musk’s alignment with controversial Trump policies, such as calls to annex Canada, has further eroded public support.
Those are rookie numbers. It’s not at 0% yet.
My dyslexia made me see 14% for a sec and I got excited
I wonder what my approval ratings are.
I approve of you.
Is Trumps plan to have someone around him so universally despised that he looks good by comparison?
Again… WHY DOES HE HAVE AN APPROVAL RATING?
Accepting this normalizes unelected officials having authority.
Guys, my approval rating is at 76% as an unelected cat owner.
He should be arrested
he deserves much much worse.
Why did they hang Toxie? o.0
He's an illegal immigrant who lied on citizenship documents thus is committing crimes in America. According to this administration he deserves to be in cecot concentration camp.
Elon Musk’s job approval
It's phrased in such a way that I'm reminded of politician's approval ratings, but he's not an elected official. Are there polls to determine the approval of persons appointed to position by the U.S. President, or are we talking about his approval as Tesla/Space X is concerned?
We need a French solution to the Musk problem.
That reminds me, I need to sharpen my guillo...uh, apparatus.
When a group of his AI company's investors sue to block the AI company's purchase of Twitter (because in what world did they agree to that?), the Saudi solution goes back on the table.
This motherfucker was not elected. His approval ratings do not matter because nobody voted for him. Jesus fucking Christ.
Not to defend Musk or Trump, but this is literally what Trump campaigned on. Trump said he'd be dictator on day one, and that Musk would be in charge of gutting agencies. Anyone who is surprised by their actions after months of projecting their plan is naive and/or ignorant.
Yep and the media's general complicity with this aberration of a government, even citing an "approval rating" of someone who bought and forced their way into an illegitimate position.
I agree but that's irrelevant. The public's approval of a person only matters if that person was elected to a position by the public. Musk was not elected, so his approval ratings amongst the public do not matter.
Talking about his "approval rating" legitimizes Musk's "role". Not Senate-confirmed, unlike the departments he's decimating. And after the damage is done, they're going to sweep him out of there next month and say "he doesn't even work here anymore!"
This is what I keep screaming when I read stuff like this.
Alternative headline:
"38% of Americans are so addicted to NewsMax, Fox News, and OAN that they can't stop sucking the toes of billionaires to "own the libs", even as he cuts billions of dollars for them and the veterans, children, poor, sick, and needy."
Millions of people will die for the sake of Hairplug Himmler's fragile ego and masculinity.
I have no sympathy whatsoever for people who vote against their best interests
Don’t forget his own source of propaganda, twitter.
*Xitter
Reminder, he is not an elected official approval ratings don’t mean shit for this POS.
If it translates to massively less Tesla sales, then it means something. Tesla's valuation is so stupidly high because of musk. The big financial institutions are betting on him because they've done very well by him in the past. If tesla crashes and burns hard enough, his toxicity will spread to all his other ventures as well and his bullshit smart guy persona will be left in the dust.
Agreed hopefully this is just the beginning of the downfall of musk.
Oh, but they do. He knows he has always been a remarkably unlikable person, and his need for acceptance and respect drove him to obsessively hoard money. Now that he's the richest man in the world (well, maybe not so much, any more), surely everybody loves him, right?
Now he's finding out that even with all the money in the world, everybody STILL hates him, even more than ever. He has become aware that people actually despise him, and are actively working to make him fail. He has no spouse or partner, he's had to buy his DNA Storage Units/ Human Shields by renting wombs, and the closest thing to a friend is a treasonous criminal, who despises everybody, including his own family. Without money in the equation, he has to get by on his looks, personality, and sense of humor. IOW, he's screwed as a human.
I love that he is deeply, deeply unhappy and lonely. All those Nazi Fucks deserve their misery.
FWIW, approval ratings don't matter for elected officials either. They have some meaning for a couple of months leading up to an election, sometimes.
I really hope he's stupid enough to fail to understand that this is why most of the ruling class is smart enough to keep their mouth shut in public. He's the best advertisement of all time for "Billionaires do not deserve the wealth they have". Keep talking Musky.
41% still think he's doing a good job. Wow. Just... wow.
"But if I don't lick boots, who am I?"
- Bootlickers
why does he have an approval rating at all. he's just there hanging out and messing stuff up.
He doesn’t even wear a suit!
Jesus fucking christ the stock is 282 right now. That is a 5% gain just today. What the actual fuck.
Think they're buying the dip right now. Warren Buffet bet on BYD at the start of the EV car revolution. That's where the smart money is and will likely stay
I wonder what's going on behind the scenes to get that up... not my field so idk
Politico report - admin leaked that Elon is supposedly going to take a step back from the admin to "focus on his businesses".
You'd think that today's earlier report about Q1 shipments overall being down 14% year-over-year would way outweigh that, but Tesla prices are 98% vibe-based and 2% how the company is actually doing.
Deny, depose, deport his ass. SpaceX -> junior division of NASA. Tesla, new CEO. Do whatever with the rest. Nationalize all stock, people making < $50_000 get a dividend
He deserves far worse
This is just the beginning
How is this cunt able to walk the streets?
why do you think he wears his toddler son as a helmet?
Given that both Elon Musk and I have a combined wealth of $330B, why does nobody care about my approval rating?
On a serious note, I always thought approval ratings were reserved for politicians. But I guess I don’t understand lots of things.
BBNO$ was walking off the stage at the Juno awards last weekend and dropped "oh, and Elon Musk is a piece of GARBAGE".
It'll be pretty funny when he gets scapegoated
When they're also at fault, it's a "fall guy".
It's not like he's elected lol, he doesn't have constituents
Wow and it's not the Onion.
