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.

      Not sure what you mean, nor am I sure wtf is wrong with everyone in this thread. Elon Musk is not an elected official. He ran for nothing and was never elected for anything.

      Full stop.

        So does this mean you’re surprised by what’s happening right now? Given everything they (Trump and Elon) have been putting on display prior to the election?
