Elon Musk's Unpopularity Hits AllTime High After Leaving Trump Admin
"Elon Musk's public image has reached its lowest point since 2024, as new polling shows that the billionaire's favorability has plunged following his involvement in President Donald Trump's administration and subsequent departure.
Once a relatively popular figure across political lines, Musk now finds himself with a net favorability rating of -18.1, according to data compiled by Nate Silver's Silver Bulletin.
Why It Matters
Musk's decline in popularity comes in the wake of his public support for Trump during the 2024 election and his appointment as a "special government employee," where he functioned as the informal head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
The decision to align with Trump, and later publicly break from him, has led to political backlash and scrutiny from multiple fronts."
