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.
A CBS/YouGov poll found that nearly half of respondents want Musk to have little or no influence, with opinions split along party lines.
“Nearly half”
“opinions split along party lines”
So the Republicans are still bootlicking fascism. Nothing has changed. There’s no mass outcry from people who just now realized it.
It’s the same ‘nearly half’ of the country that’s sane.
Even if there was, it wouldn’t stop what’s happening. The current administration gives no fucks about public opinion. If they did they wouldn’t have repeatedly lied in their campaign nor would they be following the largely unpopular Project 2025
What we can do about it is start forming mutual aid networks and unions. These will help us form a cohesive front against the fast forming authoritarian government that’s being installed.
If anyone wants resources to learn more about this you can find a rough draft here.
The only thing thats stopping Musk at this point is an insane leftist with too many drones and etch-a-sketches laying around.
Build me the mind palace that makes this make sense. I am intrigued
If they didnt care about public opinion, they wouldn’t have lied.
If they didn’t care about public opinion, they wouldn’t be pressuring media to squash knowledge of it so hard.
I don’t think public opinion is going to change the current process at large within the administration. I do however think that public opinion will encourage other departments to stand up to this bullshit.

Republicans don’t give a shit about public opinion
They lie to get in power. Then when they’re in power they do whatever the hell they want.
See “Idk about pwaject 2025 👉👈” To “PROJECT 2025 BITCHES LETS GO!”
Nearly half is closer than what the presidential elections were… So, progress?
You have found the tinfoil lining in this cloud. You’re right though, progress is progress.
Then why did they vote for or refuse to vote against him?
Nobody voted for Elon.
Read the article. The people who voted for Trump still think Musk is fine.
Because there are propaganda networks out there and these have tried to convince their users and viewers that Elon is doing the right thing.
We can blame our judicial and legislative branches for allowing propaganda networks to be funded by oligarchs. These people too were being bankrolled by the ultra wealthy.
Yeah great, but the fucking damage is done and who knows what that neo-Nazi lunatic will do with the information. I hope the NSA, CIA and FBI nab his worthless ass.
I also want him of Earth for what it’s worth. Let him pack up a Space X rocket and head to Mars. Start that colony he said we’d absolutely would have by now, because it’s so easy (according to him). He’s be the first person in Mars!
I love these polls that report on obvious conclusions that don’t require polling.
Like yeah, no shit. The problem is the people holding the reins of power couldn’t give two shits what the American public wants or thinks.
Another pointless article.
- Polls are crap. Who answers those calls? The same damn people over and over.
- The results are " strong feelings" or " nearly 50%" !?!?
I usually ignore motherj articles anyway… Guess I can keep doing that
It is what it is at this point, and as usual, Democrats will completely mis-read the room and rant about shit that won’t win them the midterms. The best we can hope for is TheIdiot falling flat on his face.
Watch how quickly it takes them to do nothing at all about this.
Like they give a shit about polls now that they’re untouchable.
This is the point when asking is useless. There needs to be telling. The purest form of authority isn’t going to wield itself.
when we vote to deport grandma, lose your farm and keep prices high
I also want to be a ethical billionaire but we don’t get wishes, only votes and America wasted it in 2024 so good luck there guys.
Too bad we don’t have a government responsive to what people want.
That’s nice. These monsters don’t care about and are not asking for approval from anyone now.
They are going to use the unitary executive theory to restore “liberty” - as someone like Bannon sees that word to mean.
Be sure to thank everyone that didn’t vote against donvict and fElon having all this power.
I’d be totally satisfied if they went completely offworld
Let’s make government smaller!
/Proceeds to expand government, including unelected officials
