The poll shows that public views of Musk are increasingly polarized, with Republican support of the billionaire rising while Democratic support falls.

Elon Musk’s support among Democrats has withered to a new low as he has embraced Republican politics, according to a national NBC News poll

Only 6% of Democrats in the poll, which was conducted Sept. 13-17, said they had positive feelings about Musk, while 79% said they had negative feelings. The numbers were flipped for Republicans, with 62% having positive feelings toward him and 14% negative feelings. Independents were split, 31% to 36%. 

The poll shows that views of Musk are increasingly polarized, reflecting the transformation of his public image in recent years from that of an environmentally aware automaker crusading against fossil fuels to that of a conservative activist aligned with former President Donald Trump.

Why are we tracking this assholes popularity like he is someone relevant to anything that requires popularity?

He’s a tech douche. Who fucking cares what percentage of popularity he holds!? He’s not running for office. He’s not even qualified to.

he was always a terrible person even when he was "that nerd who goes on big bang theory" but let's face it. his popularity is lower with more people than just democrats.

Why is musk’s(and Swift’s) popularity newsworthy? Unless they are trying to run for office, who cares?

Orrrrr and hear me out. He's just such an amazing genius that he's pissing off democrats as that's the only thing that appeals to republicans. All of this to trick repubs away from their "my truck only does gas you soy boys" minds and into buying evs since the democrats have already been saturated. Wild conspiracy here!
