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.
Still too high.
6% is waaay too high
Really good way to sell electric cars. Good job Elon.

62% positive isn't really the flipside of 79% negative.
If you combine the 6 and 62% positive and estimate they are about equal size demographics, it's only about 34% positive combined, with 47% negative.
I bet that when Tesla collapses, the 62% positive republicans will decline too. Republicans are only positive towards him because they think he is some sort of money guru.Tesla is losing marketshare hard in Europe, and probably in China too, if it isn't happening already in USA it is probably imminent, as Tesla developments of new cars can't keep up with the pace of the competition, and Tesla models are looking more and more outdated. Tesla is already looking like a failing company, despite they have by far the biggest marketshare in pure EV.
Big if true!
Seems like that's his goal?
Poll of whom, you ask?
Interviews: 1,000 Registered Voters, including 870 respondents interviewed via cellphone. Date: September 13-17, 2024
They obviously don't poll those of us who don't answer calls from numbers we don't recognize.
And don't return sketchy voicemails. We Olde learned this in the days of "Caller ID" as an extra paid service.
I can only see 'being a billionaire' as 'stealing from the population at large'. So you're saying the biggest thief of society is still popular among 6% of democrats.
if he starts painting his face and saying 'you're fired'. look out 6%
Seems high.
its what happens when he sucks a spoiled orange in public
And yet we are supporting his monopoly on smart electric vehicles with tariffs.
Who are the 6% that identify as Democrats?
he was always a terrible person even when he was "that nerd who goes on big bang theory" but let's face it. his popularity is lower with more people than just democrats.
Why are we tracking this assholes popularity like he is someone relevant to anything that requires popularity?
He’s a tech douche. Who fucking cares what percentage of popularity he holds!? He’s not running for office. He’s not even qualified to.
ONLY?!
Orrrrr and hear me out. He's just such an amazing genius that he's pissing off democrats as that's the only thing that appeals to republicans. All of this to trick repubs away from their "my truck only does gas you soy boys" minds and into buying evs since the democrats have already been saturated. Wild conspiracy here!
