Recent polling shows 49% of respondents disapprove of Elon Musk’s performance while 39% approve according to Morning Consult’s February 2 2025 survey.
This drop in approval comes amidst Musk’s highly visible role in the Trump administration leading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
Musk’s net approval rating now stands at -10 points down from a previous positive standing reflecting growing public scrutiny.
Critics point to his controversial decisions in managing both his businesses and government roles as reasons for the decline.
Supporters however argue that Musk’s innovative approach could still lead to long-term benefits in government efficiency despite short-term public dissatisfaction.
The poll reflects a broader trend where public opinion on high-profile figures can shift rapidly based on recent actions or perceived conflicts of interest.
Commentary from the public often highlights the complex nature of public perception influenced by both Musk’s entrepreneurial achievements and his political involvement.
Many express a hope for clearer separation between Musk’s private business interests and his public service roles to restore confidence in his leadership.
