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.

    Just because he wasn’t on the ballot doesn’t mean people didn’t vote for him.

    Maybe some dumbasses are genuinely surprised that trump is letting him run wild. Anyone who paid attention and voted R knowing that Elmo would have the influence that he does knows that a vote for trump is not functionally different than a vote for Elmo.
