Public Support for Elon Musk's Government Rampage Is Falling Catastrophically, Even Among Trump Voters

Quick Summary:

Quietly Fuming Billionaire Elon Musk's plans to have his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) dismantle the federal government from within has Republican lawmakers — who have seemingly been unbothered by the ongoing proceedings — spooked.

As The Hill reports, a The Economist and YouGov survey found that the number of Republicans who want Musk to have "a lot" of influence in the Trump administration dropped from 47 percent just days after the election in November, to just 26 percent, as of this week.

"Whatever DOGE is doing, it is certainly not — not — what democracy looks like or has ever looked like in the grand history of this country," Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer wrote in a statement.
