The poll shows that public views of Musk are increasingly polarized, with Republican support of the billionaire rising while Democratic support falls.
Elon Musk’s support among Democrats has withered to a new low as he has embraced Republican politics, according to a national NBC News poll.
Only 6% of Democrats in the poll, which was conducted Sept. 13-17, said they had positive feelings about Musk, while 79% said they had negative feelings. The numbers were flipped for Republicans, with 62% having positive feelings toward him and 14% negative feelings. Independents were split, 31% to 36%.
The poll shows that views of Musk are increasingly polarized, reflecting the transformation of his public image in recent years from that of an environmentally aware automaker crusading against fossil fuels to that of a conservative activist aligned with former President Donald Trump.
Is that the 6% that are buying Tesla’s? Seriously though it’s not like the right are buying his electric cars
Might be the folks that are all about SpaceX?
Well, that’s kind of fair I don’t hate SpaceX either. They seem to keep him at arms length.
I’ve heard that they have people on payroll specifically to keep Elon as far away as possible from operations.
