As of June 25, 55.1 percent of Americans viewed Elon Musk unfavorably, while 37 percent had a favorable opinion—a sharp shift from early 2024, when the numbers were roughly even, according to Silver Bulletin.

"Musk is still popular among Republicans, but he's less popular than he used to be and less popular than other Republican figures," elections analyst Eli McKown-Dawson wrote.

He killed his Dem fans by going MAGA. Then, killed MAGA fans going against their orange god. All-around idiot that got lucky investments with daddy's money.

Jump in one of those exploding rockets, Elon. It surely won't blow this time.

    I mean, him Titan CEO'ing himself on the way to Mars as a showcase that his tech is safe, is well within plausibility

    I don't know, the stream where his entire goal was to prove how good starlink was for gaming where he immediately blamed all his deaths on poor connection quality, sort of implies he has trouble putting his products before his ego.

    And while he is an expert at deluding himself, I think we have already passed the point where even he could be convinced his rockets were safe.

    He not only did what you describe, but by buying Twitter, he intentionally worked to polarize the entire political base into neat "pro-Trump" and "anti-Trump" camps. Then he finished systematically burning his bridges with both. Amazing work all around.
