New Poll Shows Americans Are Frustrated with Musk's Involvement in Government

Elon Musk has faced significant backlash for his controversial involvement in the Trump administration, where he is accused of unlawfully dismantling USAID, accessing sensitive personal information, and eliminating more than 120,000 federal jobs—actions critics claim serve his personal business interests. A recent poll conducted by the Washington Post, ABC News, and Ipsos reveals that only 35% of Americans approve of Musk's governmental actions, with particularly high disapproval rates among women, young adults, and individuals with advanced degrees. Reports indicate that Musk's so-called Department of Government Efficiency has cut essential global health programs without proper legal authority, leading to a study by The Lancet that warns these decisions could result in tens of millions of deaths worldwide over the next 15 years.
