Elon Musk's approval rating is "falling through the floor," polls show

Does he really though? Or is it just a legion of bots? I don't know anyone that's directly said they even like musk, I've heard support for dogs, but not any "praise Elon", maybe I'm just in the right circles to avoid it?

The dude sucks at everything but somehow has a mob worshipping him.

If I didn't have a moral compass or empathy I could probably lie my way to the top too.

Send him to Mars, what did the penguins ever do to deserve that?

Fuck him, send him to Antarctica instead or something, SA has enough problems without another rich poes fucking shit up.

Yea I don't get why he hasn't been deported yet if immigrants are so bad.

A South African foreigner too, not even American

Especially since he is a crusader against unelected officials. I guess it takes one to know one! /s

When people shared that picture with his black maga hat i genuinely and unironically didn't know it was him. I thought it's so mean to make fun of that disabled guy, republican or not.

A tesla "full self driving" elevator ought to be enough to take care of this problem.

The good ol Russian elevator.

I think this was a more commonly held thought in the past, but I'd say many started shedding it following 2008/9, and moreso in the 2020s. The classiest divide is getting harder for people to ignore, and billionaires on social media aren't helping themselves lol.

But he's rich, therefore a good person. -Americans

I was gonna say: we didn't vote for him! Approval rating should be at 0% on that point alone as zero voters approved of this.

This should be higher. Why are we saying approval rating not popularity?

I usually dont like all caps but you captured my feelings perfectly.

Came here to point this out, but could not have put it as eloquently as you.

The sound a snarky redditor makes.

Is that the sound a guillotine makes?

Whoosh

I really, really wish I could believe your comment USA ridiculous joke. But he absolutely, positively would do that if he could.

No need to be reelected when this was the last democratic election :)

Worse president ever.

You only need elections in a democracy, but Trump isn't trying to have a democracy.

"Non elected Private Citizen Elon Musk has approval rating"

He's literally the richest person on the planet, he probably has better protection than the SS.

All presidents of the US has had it, so why wouldn’t he?

Which, you'd think, would get any sane person to find a better website.

Bwa ha ha ha ha, who GAF about being banned on Reddit, that fascist bootlicking fraud of a site.

No this will get you banned on reddit

Oh yeah. This is the type of imagery that got me banned off Reddit! Doesn't make the statement any less true.

I would like to up vote this about 200 billion times.

Le reddit image response.

Except it has to be funny to be a joke. And Fetterman is far from funny.

That’s the joke

Didn't the brain damage turn fetterman into a Republican?

Fetterman and Schumer

Apparently about 4%.

The other issue is that object recognition from a camera can never be 100% accurate, therefore any decision on which object to avoid and where to turn in an emergency situation will have a good chance of being wrong, based on weather and visibility.

Elmo Muskrat was told by his engineers to use a combination of machine vision and lidar/radar and other sensors to achieve full self driving. I suppose Ketamine elves told Ketamine addicted Elmo that machine vision should be sufficient. SO Elmo told the engineers that they were wrong and it will just be machine vision. Thus Tesla will NEVER succeed at full self driving.

It's just insane that after 10 years more people than ever are falling for the empty promises that never happen.

This year it's "robotaxi".

Trump is a grifter and has a really potent grip on his idiotic MAGAt followers. Let them all financially hurt themselves. I'm guessing at least half of the world's EV market absolutely hates Elon Musk and won't buy a Tesla. Also, the MINUTE democrats take one of the US branches his taxpayer funded corporate welfare gravy train is gone.

It was always propped up by empty promises of self driving and other imaginary tech that never got delivered.

Back down 5% today at the moment.

But it's insane that it's still so high.

Those are certainly stock buy backs

I seriously doubt it will. It might have dropped almost 30% on the last month, but it's back up 17% in the last 5 days.

Not me. Probably nobody? 🤷

😇🤠

Who said anything about death?

It's not nice having to wish for anyone's death. Goes against the human nature.

But something not feeling nice tells nothing about whether something is okay or not. Sometimes you need to do things that are not nice.

I'm not saying someone should...

Is it really "not nice" when something bad happening to a person, removing them from public policy, would be an objective improvement?

And his fanbois fucking love it and eat it up. Yum yum

we shouldn't be in a situation where billionaires

They should have them, and they should be near zero. And we should do something about it

Xitler.

Twitler.

Big Hitler is still pretty popular for some reason.

Since it's Fox, they're polling likely fascist voters, so his "approval rating" is even worse if you poll non-braindead voters.

There's a lot of people who didn't follow his twitter shenanigans closely, and only knew him as the "Tesla electric car guy," but since the election he's been in the spotlight.

Straight to hell. To the boiler room of hell. All the way down.

No, I meant anointed by the God-Emporer.

Unless that was an intentional dig at the religious right who thinks anyone with an 'R' next to their name loves Jesus (and vis versa), I think you mean "appointed". Though, this nazi was not elected, so there's nothing next to his name...


That’s the odd thing about the stock market. Its value of a company is not on how much money it makes. That seems like something an efficient market would be able to determine.

He's Trump's useful idiot.

"I have a clear mandate." 🤮

Shocking that the Republicans started liking him when he became more and more fascist and racist. They tell you all day long how we falsely accuse them of bigotry and racism, but they support it **every last time**.

Edit: I continue to love the one Lemmy maga who shows up to downvote any comment critical of the admin or Musk, but who never has the courage to disagree openly with anyone. I hope you read this, Sir, or Madam, so you can know the joy I take in finding evidence of your passing through a thread, even on my own comments.

It's like finding sasquatch poop in the wild.

I don’t even remember what it was.

Why'd you delete. It was hilarious

Edit:



came to say this. whats the point of an approval rating. feels like calvin and hobbes with the dads approval rating.

Right? This fucking unelected ketamine fueled Nazi fuck needs to get the fuck out. I’m serious. This is infuriating. Every single day it’s worse and worse. I’m to the point where I’d be relieved if something ‘tragic’ happened to him. You know, like, strapping him into a Tesla seat, and launching him in a nice fat trajectory toward the Sun 🙃

Trump can go outside, look up and watch. He’s got practice staring at the sun.

This will surely cost him votes in the next el—- oh wait.

Approval for what? Nobody elected this idiot.

Maybe we shouldn't be in a situation where billionaires have "approval ratings."

Gross.


WHY DOES ELON MUSK HAVE A MOTHERFUCKING APPROVAL RATING. MOTHERFUCKER IS NOT ELECTED. FUCK.

Wheel out the guillotine.

The fact that he has an approval rating is all you need to know about the state of America's politics

Little Hitler is not popular. I wonder why.

Gonna be tough to get reelected

It's cool a non elected, private citizen has an approval rating and a job in our government.

Elon Musk's approval rating is "falling through the floor" among Democrats, according to CNN's chief data analyst Harry Enten.

But he said Musk has improved with Republicans, going from -18 in 2017 to +51 in 2025.

Unelected acting president has an approval rating should infuriate every American.

this piece of shit has an "approval rating"?

Glad to hear Muskrat's approval ratings are falling through the floor. But I would be much happier to hear that Muskrat himself were falling through the floor, from at least 30 stories up.

still, the shares in his public company are worth 50 times what the earnings could justify, and with lower sales expected ahead, some things puzzle me

Why does he even have an approval rating? Seriously!

Are we all just going to collectively forget that we never elected that walking pile of human shaped malignant anal fissures?

How does he have an approval rating?

Through the floor is not enough. Dig deeper, to hell with him.

It is not nice to wish ill on someone, but with Muskolini, I cannot help but desire it.

Good thing he's not elected then...

Now let Tesla stock price follow his approval rating!

Why does he even have an approval rating in the first place? He's unelected.

An approval rating implies he holds an elected office.

He does not.

He's not even good at wearing a hat.

Geez, did Tesla make the floor too?

His approval rating is low? Might matter for anyone who needed to be *elected*. Doesn't matter for the *anointed*.

Good, the mofo should be stripped of US citizenship and flown back to South Africa in a Space X rocket. Make sure DOGE calculates the fuel load.

Recent Fox News polling found just 40 percent of voters approved of the job Musk is doing with DOGE, while 58 percent disapprove.

And a CNN/SSRS poll found 53 percent of Americans hold an unfavorable opinion of Musk, while 35 percent view him positively.

It's weird that Fox would put out that news, I guess even they couldn't slow the ebb of disapproval of this guy.

Also, WTF - there was a large portion of Democrats who *liked* the guy? They're the ones mainly responsible for his drop in disapproval? He's as strong as ever amongst Republicans? What the actual fuck, America

Elon Musk's approval rating is "falling through the floor," **among Democrats**

What Democrat supports Musk?!... misleading headline here

...and that would matter if he was dependent on votes by an electorate. He is not.

I approve of his low popularity but I don't approve of polls. Polls are just like Chicken Little (The Sky is Falling (no...it wasn't)) or The Boy Who Cried Wolf (there was no wolf).

This feels like the equivalent of

We care alot about you, do you mind sharing your data with us? *whisper* and our 847 partners.

He shouldn't have an approval rating.

If not for the fact that he's got secret service protection he'd have been luigi'd already

He saw Merkel doing this with her hands/fingers and is doing the same to try to show he is bright and intelligent, but in fact he's just a loser and a poser.

He's so unpopular that he should just move to Mars already.

Red rover, red rover, xelon is coming over.

Liquidate Musk

How many administrations have we been doing the unelected billionaire who bought the ability to run the government approval numbers? I'd like to see the trend numbers on that.

Now if only he could "Fall out a window" and stop actively destroying the country, that'd be great.

Finnish him frensh style :)

Dickhead wasn't even approved by the senate.

I guess you can go lower than zero.

weak

Thanks news for doing the hard, gumshoe, boots on the ground, investigative reporting about what we already know
