A new Wall Street Journal (WSJ) poll indicates that Americans are growing less fond of Elon Musk, the millionaire CEO of Tesla. Musk's favorability rating has fallen, with the majority of the public now disapproving of him, as he assumes a new position as head of the Department of government Efficiency under former President Donald Trump.
 
Mediaite reports that a WSJ poll released last week indicates that 51% of people disapprove of Musk, while only 40% of people have a positive opinion of him. Compared to October, when his favorability and unfavorability ratings were divided evenly at 45% each, this is a decrease. 750 registered voters participated in the survey, which was taken between january 9 and january 14 before Trump's inauguration.
 
750 registered voters participated in the telephone and text-to-web survey, which had a ±2.5% margin of error.

The tesla owner is a vital ally in Trump's inner circle despite the declining support ratings. His new role, which trump appointed to supervise government efficiency, entails cutting unnecessary expenditures and making sure public funds are spent more sensibly.
 
According to reports, he pushed for some people to be part of Trump's 2.0 cabinet, which caused friction among the group in addition to drawing criticism. Following Trump's election victory in November, Musk has continued to be visible, speaking at Trump's inauguration ceremony and attending meetings at Mar-a-Lago.
 
In Britain, the CEO of space x is likewise quite unpopular, with a net popularity rating of minus 51 according to a recent YouGov survey. According to the survey, only 20% of Britons have a favorable opinion of Musk, while 71% have an unfavorable opinion.
 
This coincides with Musk's contentious comments accusing prime minister Keir Starmer of child abuse and his attempts to call for a fresh general election in the United Kingdom.
