Elon Musk's favorability has taken a significant hit following his public disagreements with Donald Trump. Recent polling shows Musk's net favorability at -14 points overall, and he has lost favor among Republicans, dropping around 12 points. Notably, Musk's popularity declined sharply post-presidency, exacerbated by his controversy-laden takeover of Twitter. Experts suggest Musk's attempts to navigate political landscapes while appealing to both left-leaning and right-leaning audiences have left him increasingly polarized, contributing to his declining public image during a crucial period for Tesla.
In the US, Musk managed to alienate both those on the left due to his support for DOGE, the Trump administration, and the election and those on the right as seen in his statements on X following his fallout with the President.
Voters began to become increasingly polarized toward Musk after his takeover of Twitter... Musk's closeness to Trump poured fuel on the fire, which left his image in a much different state.
