Stop talking about the little psycho freak job.
And the other half have such an open mind that their brains fell out the back?
About half you say? That ratio sounds very familiar for some elusive reason. Color me shocked
And the other half have a negative view of EVs
Brilliant combo. Musk is a genius.
Wow only half? We are fucked.
Its lies. Very few people like arrogant billionares who think they can own countries and everyone else is below them and we’re leeches to be “deleted”. Someone who gets off on ruining lives. Not to mention he’s bat shit crazy and has a farm for his offspring. These billionares are the real threat. Trump is just a useful idiot to make things so bad the billionaires swoop in.
Musk is the billionaire Trump. Not that smart.
The smart ones are more dangerous and quiet like Peter thiel. The guy you never heard of that has in hands in everything bad with a fake stutter and compassionate tone. As they build fortresses in New Zealand. Almost like they know there will be a reason to hide.
More than half the voting population gave Trump a carte blanche when it was super Obvious who he was. Do you really think they’ve changed?
Actually no, he got neither half the voting population nor half the people that actually voted.
Only HALF?? God this country is dumb.
I went into a shop in MAGA country recently and shop owner broke away from his MAGA conversation to ask us if we’d heard about all the social security grift Elon had just found - apparently they paid over 50 billion dollars to people who’d been dead for 100 years - and did we think they should just refund that to us, or use it to pay off the national debt. He was legit excited.
The misinformation and propaganda and whatnot is off the charts.
And by MAGA country I mean there was a shop just up the road called “Trump, flags, and more” or some shit.
This is just insane to me, and i just refuse to believe that is real.
Yeah no shit, it’s like saying half of Americans lean auth-right. A circular Venn diagram if ever I’ve seen one.
And the approve rating is our stereotypical 35ish percent.
More than half of the country didn’t take the survey 😐
Half of the us are Nazis? Fuck. Me. No seriously, fuck me, I’m in need of a big strong man to take my mind off how half of Americans are Nazis.
The math is a bit more complicated. We know 30% of U.S. adults are Nazis. We know 28% appear not to be.
The other 42% of Adults in the U.S. are still in question.
The other half are ok with nazi salutes in the US Capitol.
I think a good percentage of those are either woefully uninformed or think people were making it up.
But that’d be only very very mildly better.
At this point there’s no difference between supporting it and being oblivious to it. This past election demonstrated that.
Right along party lines, I imagine. In other words, the only people with a positive view of Musk are the ones who reliably think what right wing propaganda tells them to think.
Actually, it’s the billionaires and temporarily-embarrasses billionaires, against the rest of us.
36% positive. It’s always about 35% approval with the crazy authoritarian stuff in the US.
You can fool some of the people all of the time.
It’s been around 30 percent since GWB.
If you consider half the population probably don’t pay attention to news (and do ya blame them) then it makes sense
2 things:
The survey found Musk to be a highly polarizing figure. Half of the public has a negative view of Musk, compared with 36% who see him positively and 16% who are neutral. Among Democrats, Musk’s net approval (positive minus negative) is -82 and -49 for independents. GOP respondents are +56.
The survey of 1,000 people nationwide was conducted April 9 through April 13 and has a margin of error of +/-3.1%.
Who and how were the people surveyed?
Among Democrats, Musk’s net approval (positive minus negative) is -82 and -49 for independents. GOP respondents are +56.
before the leaky diaper shitshow began its second season, before muskrat turned twitter into a propaganda machine, and before he decided to dabble in politics and buy a presidency, those results would probably be reversed.
He was always an asshole, but back then he usually kept it contained to his personal (and work) interactions.
Now he’s actively throwing his money around trying to make the world a shittier place for all humans. It’s much harder to ignore.
I can’t believe he is this popular.
He’s not, he has a significant influence on the media.
An important figure in nationalist politics in Germany during the first three decades of the twentieth century, Alfred Hugenberg became the country’s leading media proprietor during the 1920s. As leader of the German National People’s Party, he played a part in helping Adolf Hitler become chancellor of Germany and served in his first cabinet in 1933, hoping to control Hitler and use him as his tool. The plan failed, and by the end of 1933 Hugenberg had been pushed to the sidelines.
Turns out, the wealthy buying up media to spread right-wing talking points to enable fascism in the face of progressivism is yet another way in which the modern Republican party is just a copy of their National Socialist ancestors.
Hmmm. I wonder which half.
The half that likes to buy EVs. Tesla is in a lot of trouble.
It’s hilarious when they started doing counter protests and filling Tesla stores area with gas guzzling trucks.
Yeah, I was thinking that’s probably the case.
Those are rookie numbers. We gotta pump those numbers up.
Bullshit, all these approval ratings stories are lies. To make you feel disenfranchised. They want you to be cared because "That’s almost all the republicans and they have guns. Don’t pay attention to them, The amount that actually approve is far smaller than the number they seek to force to hide away with stories like this. We are Legion, they are the minority. If Half the country supports the Billionaires, how is Bernie Pulling 12,000 people to a rally in Idaho? These stories are because they’re afraid, it’s just a psyop.
What now? Is this an off-med rant or do you want to maybe point to the data that you are using? This reads like a Joe Rogan quote
No, it’s the truthful acknowledgement that all corporate media and centralised social media is owned by Billionaires and that they are all pushing the narrative that Trump is more popular than he is. 12,000 people showed up to a Bernie Rally in deep red Idaho. You sound like a shill, which, of course, would make sense since they proliferate on the Political Sub-lemmys.
