Poll Shows Majority of Americans Oppose Elon Musk's Role in Trump Administration

New data reveals declining public support for Musk's government role and a sharp drop in his personal favorability ratings.

A Quinnipiac University poll finds 53% of registered voters oppose Elon Musk's key role in President Trump's administration, with only 39% in support.
Musk currently serves as a 'special government employee,' leading controversial initiatives such as government workforce reductions and the closure of USAID.
CNN data analyst Harry Enten highlighted Musk's favorability rating, which has fallen from +29 in 2016 to -11 in 2025, marking a significant drop since his involvement in politics.
Independent voters show limited support, with only 36% backing Musk's role in the administration.
In contrast, Donald Trump's net favorability rating has reached its highest point, nearing a neutral net zero.
