Summary

Multiple polls show that a significant portion of Americans oppose Elon Musk’s influence in government, particularly through DOGE.

A CBS/YouGov poll found that nearly half of respondents want Musk to have little or no influence, with opinions split along party lines.

Other polls from The Economist, Quinnipiac, and advocacy groups also reveal broad concerns over Musk’s power and lack of oversight.

Meanwhile, the White House continues to defend Musk and selectively highlight poll results that support Trump’s administration while ignoring criticism.

    Unless someone is going to enforce consequences on them they don’t care if 100% of the population disagree with them.

    Trump can’t legally get elected again and Musk wasn’t elected at all, why the fuck would they care what the public thinks?

      Trump can’t legally sexually assault women, but that still happened. We’ll see how this plays out.

        That does also support his point entirely. So. Yes. That’s correct.

      Moving against the majority and common sense pays its toll on the long run…

        “Surely this time there will be consequences for Trump, unlike all those other times we thought there would surely be consequences for Trump. This time though, this time all those people who haven’t been holding Trump accountable will hold Trump accountable.”

          Isn’t it so insane to watch? If I was convicted of one felony I’m confidant I’d be in prison.

            You also wouldn’t be able to vote or even get a job with the likes of Costco or even Sam’s club. But hey, that presidential role is a go.
