Summary
Elon Musk’s job approval dropped to 41%—his lowest since joining the Trump administration—according to a Marquette Law School poll.
His favorability fell to 38%, while 58% disapproved of his work leading DOGE.
The decline follows backlash over Musk’s political involvement, including his $22 million support of Brad Schimel, who lost Wisconsin’s Supreme Court race.
Musk’s alignment with controversial Trump policies, such as calls to annex Canada, has further eroded public support.

Given that both Elon Musk and I have a combined wealth of $330B, why does nobody care about my approval rating?
On a serious note, I always thought approval ratings were reserved for politicians. But I guess I don’t understand lots of things.
This motherfucker was not elected. His approval ratings do not matter because nobody voted for him. Jesus fucking Christ.
Talking about his “approval rating” legitimizes Musk’s “role”. Not Senate-confirmed, unlike the departments he’s decimating. And after the damage is done, they’re going to sweep him out of there next month and say “he doesn’t even work here anymore!”
This is what I keep screaming when I read stuff like this.
Not to defend Musk or Trump, but this is literally what Trump campaigned on. Trump said he’d be dictator on day one, and that Musk would be in charge of gutting agencies. Anyone who is surprised by their actions after months of projecting their plan is naive and/or ignorant.
I agree but that’s irrelevant. The public’s approval of a person only matters if that person was elected to a position by the public. Musk was not elected, so his approval ratings amongst the public do not matter.
Yep and the media’s general complicity with this aberration of a government, even citing an “approval rating” of someone who bought and forced their way into an illegitimate position.
why does he have an approval rating at all. he’s just there hanging out and messing stuff up.
He doesn’t even wear a suit!
Again… WHY DOES HE HAVE AN APPROVAL RATING?
Accepting this normalizes unelected officials having authority.
Shit, now he will never win another election
You say it as if there will be an election
There never was. Pretty sure that’s the joke. No one elected him. No one nominated him for anything. No one confirmed him.
MAGA supporter: Donald confirmed him. That’s good enough for me. These billionaires are for us!
Guys, my approval rating is at 76% as an unelected cat owner.
How is this cunt able to walk the streets?
why do you think he wears his toddler son as a helmet?
He deserves far worse
This is just the beginning
Elon Musk’s job approval
It’s phrased in such a way that I’m reminded of politician’s approval ratings, but he’s not an elected official. Are there polls to determine the approval of persons appointed to position by the U.S. President, or are we talking about his approval as Tesla/Space X is concerned?
Why would we have an approval rating for a non elected official?
I’m pretty sure any public figure can have an un/favorability rating. There’s no rule that says you can only poll the favorability of elected officials. Taylor Swift has a favorability rating.
Alternative headline:
“38% of Americans are so addicted to NewsMax, Fox News, and OAN that they can’t stop sucking the toes of billionaires to “own the libs”, even as he cuts billions of dollars for them and the veterans, children, poor, sick, and needy.”
Millions of people will die for the sake of Hairplug Himmler’s fragile ego and masculinity.
Don’t forget his own source of propaganda, twitter.
*Xitter
I have no sympathy whatsoever for people who vote against their best interests
It’ll be pretty funny when he gets scapegoated
When they’re also at fault, it’s a “fall guy”.
It’s not like he’s elected lol, he doesn’t have constituents
I really hope he’s stupid enough to fail to understand that this is why most of the ruling class is smart enough to keep their mouth shut in public. He’s the best advertisement of all time for “Billionaires do not deserve the wealth they have”. Keep talking Musky.
