Summary

A Quinnipiac University poll released Wednesday found that 55% of registered voters believe Elon Musk has too much power in decisions affecting the U.S., while 36% say his influence is appropriate, and 3% say he has too little.

Opinions are divided along party lines, with 96% of Democrats, 56% of independents, and 16% of Republicans saying he wields excessive power.

The poll also indicates growing disapproval of Musk’s role in Trump’s administration.

    He should have ZERO power. Saying he has “too much” indicates that it’s acceptable that he has any power at all.

      As a filthy leftist, it would certainly pwn me if they did. I would be very pwned.

      Like I would cry so many tears, which are incidentally fucking delicious, if anyone were so inclined to want to drink them.

        Omg yes I’d drink SO much soy milk. Like, my already puny muscles would shrivel in the wake of such based alpha wolf assertion of dominance.

      I’d meet one of those from time and time and hear them reel off the typical narrative about “law and order” and “small government” and just chuckle to myself at how deluded they were about their own party’s makeup and ambitions even decades ago.

      Almost always “law and order” is a fig leaf for racism, xenophobia, etc. Not always, but usually. The people that honestly adhere to a Libertarian style thing in the Republican party are very few, but there are some that are probably actually under the impression, even still, that the goal of the Republican Party is about the core Libertarian type of thing.

      The party is really about the likes of fElon and Bronzo the Clown enriching themselves, while fooling a whole lot of racists and misogynists that they are going to do anything for those people besides just make their economic lives much harder. Oh, and also red meat is thrown to xtians that think everyone else needs to participate in their little book club, too.

          Propaganda works.

          We’ve been saying it since the 70s at least. It’s a giant conspiracy by - media corporations - to not reveal how powerful media corporations are.

          Not a secret conspiracy mind you - anyone can see it quite plainly - but it will never be spoken of, at least, on popular corporate media. Not in any useful way. Why they would lose money if they did that.

          Theres a reason republicans always want to defund education. Theres a reason why there is a correlation between red states and blue states and their test scores. Theres a reason why universities/higher education has been branded “liberal brainwashing.”

          Theyve been attacking education so that people can stay ignorant to their true motives

    Doge = a shadow government who has the power to delegate & remove authority of the Gov offices and elected officials and decide how tax money is spent without the consent of the people.

    Even if he weren’t the admin’s Chief Divorced Officer, he would have too much influence in the government on the account that he’s a billionaire
