A new CNN poll has revealed how Americans feel about Musk, who is becoming increasingly influential despite claiming he merely provides 'tech support' for the Trump administration (he even wore a t-shirt with this slogan emblazoned on it, just in case we didn’t get the memo).

A new CNN/SSRS poll shows that 53 percent of Americans hold an unfavorable opinion of the world's richest man.

Discontent with Elon Musk has spurred a nationwide protest movement that aims to cut off the profits for the billionaire’s lucrative car business, EV maker Tesla. Now, Trump-aligned lawmakers are lobbying for the Justice Department to go after protesters in what seems like a blatantly oligarchic weaponization of the nation’s justice system.
