Summary

A Quinnipiac University poll released Wednesday found that 55% of registered voters believe Elon Musk has too much power in decisions affecting the U.S., while 36% say his influence is appropriate, and 3% say he has too little.

Opinions are divided along party lines, with 96% of Democrats, 56% of independents, and 16% of Republicans saying he wields excessive power.

The poll also indicates growing disapproval of Musk’s role in Trump’s administration.

    I’d meet one of those from time and time and hear them reel off the typical narrative about “law and order” and “small government” and just chuckle to myself at how deluded they were about their own party’s makeup and ambitions even decades ago.

    Almost always “law and order” is a fig leaf for racism, xenophobia, etc. Not always, but usually. The people that honestly adhere to a Libertarian style thing in the Republican party are very few, but there are some that are probably actually under the impression, even still, that the goal of the Republican Party is about the core Libertarian type of thing.

    The party is really about the likes of fElon and Bronzo the Clown enriching themselves, while fooling a whole lot of racists and misogynists that they are going to do anything for those people besides just make their economic lives much harder. Oh, and also red meat is thrown to xtians that think everyone else needs to participate in their little book club, too.
