Elon Musk's approval rating plunges to new low

Don’t forget his own source of propaganda, twitter.

I have no sympathy whatsoever for people who vote against their best interests

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.

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.

You say it as if there will be an election

FWIW, approval ratings don't matter for elected officials either. They have some meaning for a couple of months leading up to an election, sometimes.

If it translates to massively less Tesla sales, then it means something. Tesla's valuation is so stupidly high because of musk. The big financial institutions are betting on him because they've done very well by him in the past. If tesla crashes and burns hard enough, his toxicity will spread to all his other ventures as well and his bullshit smart guy persona will be left in the dust.

Oh, but they do. He knows he has always been a remarkably unlikable person, and his need for acceptance and respect drove him to obsessively hoard money. Now that he's the richest man in the world (well, maybe not so much, any more), surely everybody loves him, right?

Now he's finding out that even with all the money in the world, everybody STILL hates him, even more than ever. He has become aware that people actually despise him, and are actively working to make him fail. He has no spouse or partner, he's had to buy his DNA Storage Units/ Human Shields by renting wombs, and the closest thing to a friend is a treasonous criminal, who despises everybody, including his own family. Without money in the equation, he has to get by on his looks, personality, and sense of humor. IOW, he's screwed as a human.

I love that he is deeply, deeply unhappy and lonely. All those Nazi Fucks deserve their misery.

"But if I don't lick boots, who am I?"

- Bootlickers

I know, it's terrifying.

Ok so where's my soma hookup? Far more like 1984 in my opinion.

Dude, it dropped a new low when people started complaining about egg prices, and decided to vote for Daddy Donald.. because they listened to his lies.

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.

That reminds me, I need to sharpen my guillo...uh, apparatus.

When a group of his AI company's investors sue to block the AI company's purchase of Twitter (because in what world did they agree to that?), the Saudi solution goes back on the table.

He's an illegal immigrant who lied on citizenship documents thus is committing crimes in America. According to this administration he deserves to be in cecot concentration camp.

he deserves much much worse.

He doesn’t even wear a suit!

why do you think he wears his toddler son as a helmet?

My dyslexia made me see 14% for a sec and I got excited

I approve of you.

I wonder what's going on behind the scenes to get that up... not my field so idk

Think they're buying the dip right now. Warren Buffet bet on BYD at the start of the EV car revolution. That's where the smart money is and will likely stay

When they're also at fault, it's a "fall guy".
