Only HALF?? God this country is dumb.
I went into a shop in MAGA country recently and shop owner broke away from his MAGA conversation to ask us if we’d heard about all the social security grift Elon had just found - apparently they paid over 50 billion dollars to people who’d been dead for 100 years - and did we think they should just refund that to us, or use it to pay off the national debt. He was legit excited.
The misinformation and propaganda and whatnot is off the charts.
And by MAGA country I mean there was a shop just up the road called “Trump, flags, and more” or some shit.
Yeah no shit, it’s like saying half of Americans lean auth-right. A circular Venn diagram if ever I’ve seen one.
And the approve rating is our stereotypical 35ish percent.
More than half of the country didn’t take the survey 😐
Right along party lines, I imagine. In other words, the only people with a positive view of Musk are the ones who reliably think what right wing propaganda tells them to think.
Actually, it’s the billionaires and temporarily-embarrasses billionaires, against the rest of us.
The other half are ok with nazi salutes in the US Capitol.
I think a good percentage of those are either woefully uninformed or think people were making it up.
But that’d be only very very mildly better.
At this point there’s no difference between supporting it and being oblivious to it. This past election demonstrated that.
Wow only half? We are fucked.
More than half the voting population gave Trump a carte blanche when it was super Obvious who he was. Do you really think they’ve changed?
Actually no, he got neither half the voting population nor half the people that actually voted.
And the other half have such an open mind that their brains fell out the back?
36% positive. It’s always about 35% approval with the crazy authoritarian stuff in the US.
You can fool some of the people all of the time.
It’s been around 30 percent since GWB.
2 things:
The survey found Musk to be a highly polarizing figure. Half of the public has a negative view of Musk, compared with 36% who see him positively and 16% who are neutral. Among Democrats, Musk’s net approval (positive minus negative) is -82 and -49 for independents. GOP respondents are +56.
The survey of 1,000 people nationwide was conducted April 9 through April 13 and has a margin of error of +/-3.1%.
Who and how were the people surveyed?
Among Democrats, Musk’s net approval (positive minus negative) is -82 and -49 for independents. GOP respondents are +56.
before the leaky diaper shitshow began its second season, before muskrat turned twitter into a propaganda machine, and before he decided to dabble in politics and buy a presidency, those results would probably be reversed.
He was always an asshole, but back then he usually kept it contained to his personal (and work) interactions.
Now he’s actively throwing his money around trying to make the world a shittier place for all humans. It’s much harder to ignore.
Hmmm. I wonder which half.
The half that likes to buy EVs. Tesla is in a lot of trouble.
It’s hilarious when they started doing counter protests and filling Tesla stores area with gas guzzling trucks.
Yeah, I was thinking that’s probably the case.
What’s wrong with the other half?
About half you say? That ratio sounds very familiar for some elusive reason. Color me shocked
And the other half apparently are extremely tuned out or just awful people.
Under-educated selfish assholes.
And the other half have a negative view of EVs
Brilliant combo. Musk is a genius.
Those are rookie numbers. We gotta pump those numbers up.
Not enough
Bullshit, all these approval ratings stories are lies. To make you feel disenfranchised. They want you to be cared because "That’s almost all the republicans and they have guns. Don’t pay attention to them, The amount that actually approve is far smaller than the number they seek to force to hide away with stories like this. We are Legion, they are the minority. If Half the country supports the Billionaires, how is Bernie Pulling 12,000 people to a rally in Idaho? These stories are because they’re afraid, it’s just a psyop.
What now? Is this an off-med rant or do you want to maybe point to the data that you are using? This reads like a Joe Rogan quote
No, it’s the truthful acknowledgement that all corporate media and centralised social media is owned by Billionaires and that they are all pushing the narrative that Trump is more popular than he is. 12,000 people showed up to a Bernie Rally in deep red Idaho. You sound like a shill, which, of course, would make sense since they proliferate on the Political Sub-lemmys.
