Elon Musk Is Officially The Least Popular Person In America

According to the latest Gallup polling, Elon Musk is STILL the least popular public figure among the American public. The poll also shows that everyone in the Trump administration has a negative approval rating, and the only public figures that Americans seem to really like are Pope Leo, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, and Bernie Sanders. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this new poll.

So in a segment earlier this week, I talked about the fact that the shareholders of Tesla actually voted to increase the amount of money they give to Elon Musk. They're gonna give him $29 billion so that he does not leave the company, and he stays the CEO, even though he is the most toxic person on the planet. And I mentioned in that segment that a couple months ago, maybe even a month ago, a, a global survey came out and Elon Musk was literally at the bottom of that list of public figures in terms of popularity. He was the least popular public figure on the planet according to the planet.

Not long after that segment aired, a new Gallup poll was released. This one was not global. This one was just in the United States. But that poll also found that Elon Musk is still the least popular public figure in the United States of America. So the day after the, the company was like, let's give him more money and beg him to stay. Americans were like, we don't hate anybody more than we hate Elon Musk. Elon Musk was so unpopular. He was actually below Benjamin Netanyahu, who is now becoming a universally despised figure. So let me read you this. Elon Musk sitting at the bottom of the popularity, they only asked about 14 people. Elon Musk has a net negative 28% approval rating at the beginning of this year. He only had a net four negative approval rating. He's now at negative 28, Netanyahu's at negative 23. Marco Rubio at negative 16 tied with Donald Trump at negative 16.

Pete Hegseth only has negative 12. Gavin Newsom has negative 11. JD Vance, negative 11, Joe Biden negative 11. And the most popular person in the Trump administration out of those asked is actually Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Who has an approval rating of net negative five. So he's the most popular, but he still hated by most of the country. Um, Ocasio-Cortez has negative four approval rating. Uh, Emmanuel Macron has a negative one approval rating. In fact, out of all the public figures in this Gallup poll, only three had a positive approval rating. Number one is Pope Leo, uh, positive 46%. Number two, believe it or not, uh, VUL Demir Zelensky, president of Ukraine. Uh, positive approval rating of, uh, uh, net 18 points. And the only US politician in this poll to have a positive approval rating is Bernie Sanders with a net positive 11%. So

Bernie Sanders is the only US politician in this poll where a majority of people are like, oh, I like him. I, I like, I like Zelensky, I like the Pope and I like Bernie Sanders. I don't like RFK Jr. I don't like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez or Joe Biden or Trump or Hegseth or Rubio. But I really frigging hate Elon Musk. That is what a majority of people said to Reuters in this poll that took place over a rather long period of time. So Tesla may wanna rethink their decision to go ahead and give him more money to not leave because with as hated as he is, we have seen Tesla's stock drop 20%, their second quarter revenue dropped 16%, and they are going to continue hemorrhaging money as long as the least popular human being on the planet continues to run that company.
