      Right? This fucking unelected ketamine fueled Nazi fuck needs to get the fuck out. I’m serious. This is infuriating. Every single day it’s worse and worse. I’m to the point where I’d be relieved if something ‘tragic’ happened to him. You know, like, strapping him into a Tesla seat, and launching him in a nice fat trajectory toward the Sun 🙃

      Trump can go outside, look up and watch. He’s got practice staring at the sun.

    Maybe we shouldn’t be in a situation where billionaires have “approval ratings.”

    Gross.

      I was gonna say: we didn’t vote for him! Approval rating should be at 0% on that point alone as zero voters approved of this.

    The fact that he has an approval rating is all you need to know about the state of America’s politics

      When people shared that picture with his black maga hat i genuinely and unironically didn’t know it was him. I thought it’s so mean to make fun of that disabled guy, republican or not.

    Elon Musk’s approval rating is “falling through the floor” among Democrats, according to CNN’s chief data analyst Harry Enten.

    But he said Musk has improved with Republicans, going from -18 in 2017 to +51 in 2025.

      “I have a clear mandate.” 🤮

      Shocking that the Republicans started liking him when he became more and more fascist and racist. They tell you all day long how we falsely accuse them of bigotry and racism, but they support it every last time.

      Edit: I continue to love the one Lemmy maga who shows up to downvote any comment critical of the admin or Musk, but who never has the courage to disagree openly with anyone. I hope you read this, Sir, or Madam, so you can know the joy I take in finding evidence of your passing through a thread, even on my own comments.

      It’s like finding sasquatch poop in the wild.

        I think this was a more commonly held thought in the past, but I’d say many started shedding it following 2008/9, and moreso in the 2020s. The classiest divide is getting harder for people to ignore, and billionaires on social media aren’t helping themselves lol.

    Glad to hear Muskrat’s approval ratings are falling through the floor. But I would be much happier to hear that Muskrat himself were falling through the floor, from at least 30 stories up.

    still, the shares in his public company are worth 50 times what the earnings could justify, and with lower sales expected ahead, some things puzzle me

      That’s the odd thing about the stock market. Its value of a company is not on how much money it makes. That seems like something an efficient market would be able to determine.
