Americans are increasingly critical of Elon Musk’s role in the Trump administration, with a Washington Post-ABC News-Ipsos poll finding negative reactions to some cuts made by his U.S. DOGE Service and skeptical that the government is cutting waste and fraud.
The poll finds 35% of Americans approve of the way Musk is handling his job in the Trump administration, while 57% disapprove. Negative ratings of Musk are up from 49% in February, while his approval has shifted little from 34% two months ago. He remains less popular than Donald Trump, who has a 39% approval rating and a 55% disapproval rating.
He isnt even trying to stop waste and fraud, but even if he were: “The optimal amount of fraud is non-zero”
I enjoyed this little reminder of how the real world isnt binary.
If it took this long to cotton on, the entire American public needs to be issued helmets just to be allowed to perform basic human functions.
Americans aren’t feeling the hurt yet. Once they start to feel what these jobs did, then people are going to get angry.
The shit hasn’t rolled all the way down the hill yet.
Every normal person in the country has been freaking the f out this whole time. It’s still breaks my heart what has become of this paper.
Oh weird, I misread that as public being skeptical of the idea of Elon’s life expectancy projecting forward beyond Q4 2025.
Hah!
What a silly mistake I made!
