Alternative headline:
After 100 Days, 35% Of Americans Still Approve With What Elon Musk Is Doing to the Government!-
A Washington Post-ABC News-Ipsos poll found that 39% of U.S. adults approve of Trump’s handling of the presidency; a CNN/SSRS poll found that 41% of Americans approve; and a NBC News Stay Tuned Poll found that 45% of U.S. adults approve.
Turns out, Trump is more popular than Musk, but all of these numbers are still amazingly high.
-
30% of Americans who weren't alive in the 1930s think we should have 1930s government and a 1930s economy.
-
I wonder if there are any studies done on how "they" got Americans in a state where they can be mislead to these unbelievable levels despite having access to open internet and everything.
-
They are watching people like j Peterson and Shapiro, and any of the nonfox propaganda news as their source
-
-
They're consuming propaganda like it's real news. They'd be more upset if they were living in reality.
-
Which is produced and disseminated by Russia of course. All their favorite grifters are paid by putin
-

-
There's a house near me that has recently put up a flag that has "Thank you Elon Musk" written on it. Absolute morons.
-
There are a handful of kool-aid drinkers out there, and boy do I have fun talking to them when I visit my wife's family.
-
I watched a bunch poc YouTubers drank musk and Trump's Kool aid over the years, they went from not even talking about musk to constantly thirsting over him.

Much as i like a good ol' musk bootin' lets not allow him to become the scapegoat.
A whole fucking political party enabled this shit.
-
What Republicans are doing to the government. They've always wanted to do this, Elon is just their fall guy.
-
It's one thing if we were gonna slash government jobs and outsource to private entities for pennies on the dollar. We're not doing that though. We're snatching the government-issued parachutes off people's backs and shouting, "The Free Market will save you!" just before we kick them out of the plane.
-
Private entities is the goal. They just need to get rid of everyone first to do it.
-
Essentially Russia, Russia did the same thing, just kept their police bloated and themselves, while the rest of the country went to shit, plus they get rid of the undesirables by sending them all to ukraine

-
What in the actual fuck is wrong with the brain dead idiots who don't hate it?
-
Trump.
-
-
The fact that it says 'Most' and not 'All' is fucking pathetic.
-
Saying 40% approve isn't as fun I guess
-
-
He isn't doing shit to the government. He's doing everything for the government, which is a republican administration. Everyone in that administration is accountable, including Musk. Everyone backing the administration is backing Trump and doge and Musk and their policies. These people will not change because they don't see anything wrong in their doing. Force the hand of those who disagree silently to become loud to force changes, by making them accountable.
-
Actually we all just hate him as a person now that we see who he really is.
-
It took you 100 days???

(2025-1776)*365.25-100

-
The subject that gets you kicked off of reddit.
-
Is he cosplaying one of those shitty crypto monkeys
Guess it's exactly the kind of shit he'd be into
-
That this even says “most” shows how truly fucked we are.
-
If more people had voted against him, we wouldn't be in this situation.
-
What about the other most?
-
Dude has the tiniest white dick on the planet. He’s just doing all of this because he’s insecure about his tiny dick.
-
He would be the first person in modern history to cut the government if he succeeded, even Reagan didn't despite the rhetoric. I think Clinton had the end of the Soviets which I am not counting.
Though if you asked these people if they felt they should have higher taxes to pay for it, due to aging demographics and higher borrowing rates, they would say no as well. So what do you do?
-
Except only one department is really bloated and problematic: defense. Yet that's the one department DOGE shys away from touching.
All while they gut departments that actually generate billions in revenue like the IRS, and give the wealthy tax breaks. They could also save hundreds of billions (more than DOGE has managed so far in all of their efforts) simply by passing single-payer healthcare for all, and a drug pricing plan similar to the Pharmaceutical Benefit Scheme in Australia - the govt would negotiate cheap prices for necessary prescription medication in bulk direct to Pharma companies and provide them to the US people at a much lower cost.
In reality, none of DOGE's actions are to 'save taxpayers money' or make 'smaller government'. It's targeted sabotage to benefit the wealthy, and it looks like Elon is using it to grab all the data he can while he's there.

And many generics are made in India to save money for RX pharmaceuticals too, glenmark
