Americans are increasingly critical of Elon Musk’s role in the Trump administration, with a Washington Post-ABC News-Ipsos poll finding negative reactions to some cuts made by his U.S. DOGE Service and skeptical that the government is cutting waste and fraud.

The poll finds 35% of Americans approve of the way Musk is handling his job in the Trump administration, while 57% disapprove. Negative ratings of Musk are up from 49% in February, while his approval has shifted little from 34% two months ago. He remains less popular than Donald Trump, who has a 39% approval rating and a 55% disapproval rating.

    Why tf do we have obscenely euphemistic headlines like this? Everyone knows this is about destroying our system of governance so musk and his shitbois can pillage, exploit, and enslave. There is nothing remotely legitimate about what has happened to America.
