    About half you say? That ratio sounds very familiar for some elusive reason. Color me shocked

    36% positive. It’s always about 35% approval with the crazy authoritarian stuff in the US.

      You can fool some of the people all of the time.

      It’s been around 30 percent since GWB.

      If you consider half the population probably don’t pay attention to news (and do ya blame them) then it makes sense

    Bullshit, all these approval ratings stories are lies. To make you feel disenfranchised. They want you to be cared because "That’s almost all the republicans and they have guns. Don’t pay attention to them, The amount that actually approve is far smaller than the number they seek to force to hide away with stories like this. We are Legion, they are the minority. If Half the country supports the Billionaires, how is Bernie Pulling 12,000 people to a rally in Idaho? These stories are because they’re afraid, it’s just a psyop.

      What now? Is this an off-med rant or do you want to maybe point to the data that you are using? This reads like a Joe Rogan quote

        No, it’s the truthful acknowledgement that all corporate media and centralised social media is owned by Billionaires and that they are all pushing the narrative that Trump is more popular than he is. 12,000 people showed up to a Bernie Rally in deep red Idaho. You sound like a shill, which, of course, would make sense since they proliferate on the Political Sub-lemmys.

      More than half the voting population gave Trump a carte blanche when it was super Obvious who he was. Do you really think they’ve changed?

        Actually no, he got neither half the voting population nor half the people that actually voted.

      Its lies. Very few people like arrogant billionares who think they can own countries and everyone else is below them and we’re leeches to be “deleted”. Someone who gets off on ruining lives. Not to mention he’s bat shit crazy and has a farm for his offspring. These billionares are the real threat. Trump is just a useful idiot to make things so bad the billionaires swoop in.

      Musk is the billionaire Trump. Not that smart.

      The smart ones are more dangerous and quiet like Peter thiel. The guy you never heard of that has in hands in everything bad with a fake stutter and compassionate tone. As they build fortresses in New Zealand. Almost like they know there will be a reason to hide.

    I read a biography about Elon about 10 years ago, I’ve liked him ever since. Everyone used to like him until the left got a stick up their butt. The left is really good about putting hate on a person. Assholes.

    2 things:

    The survey found Musk to be a highly polarizing figure. Half of the public has a negative view of Musk, compared with 36% who see him positively and 16% who are neutral. Among Democrats, Musk’s net approval (positive minus negative) is -82 and -49 for independents. GOP respondents are +56.

    The survey of 1,000 people nationwide was conducted April 9 through April 13 and has a margin of error of +/-3.1%.

    Who and how were the people surveyed?

      before the leaky diaper shitshow began its second season, before muskrat turned twitter into a propaganda machine, and before he decided to dabble in politics and buy a presidency, those results would probably be reversed.

        He was always an asshole, but back then he usually kept it contained to his personal (and work) interactions.

        Now he’s actively throwing his money around trying to make the world a shittier place for all humans. It’s much harder to ignore.

    Right along party lines, I imagine. In other words, the only people with a positive view of Musk are the ones who reliably think what right wing propaganda tells them to think.

      I went into a shop in MAGA country recently and shop owner broke away from his MAGA conversation to ask us if we’d heard about all the social security grift Elon had just found - apparently they paid over 50 billion dollars to people who’d been dead for 100 years - and did we think they should just refund that to us, or use it to pay off the national debt. He was legit excited.

      The misinformation and propaganda and whatnot is off the charts.

      And the approve rating is our stereotypical 35ish percent.
