Why are Trump voters suddenly angry about Elon Musk’s new role?
Have you seen these AI memes of Elon Musk? Or Elon Musk has Melania, or this one, Donald Trump and Elon Musk, or this one. Actually, that last one isn't AI. I'm sorry for some for showing you those disturbing images, by the way, but there's a serious story I want to talk about here. Um, as even Trump voters are now pissed in the ultimate leopards are eating my face. Moment that Elon Musk is acting as a co-president with Donald Trump. Trump voters are out there saying, we didn't vote for Elon Musk to be the co-president. And now he's walking around and he's in the meetings with Zelensky. He's meeting with Iran. He's uh creating fake government agencies called Doge, where he says he's gonna get rid of two or three.
$3 trillion in government spending. A lot of that goes to Social Security, Medicare, and social service nets that people rely on to actually live. And people are saying, uh, can we get a mulligan here? Uh, we didn't really mean to vote for Donald Trump. We don't really want this. This is what you voted for. And it was clear that Elon Musk was going to basically run the show and serve as a co-president, intermingling potentially his business interests with government affairs. And what I believe, in my opinion, is all my opinion, to be uh a uh the ultimate conflict of interest here. So here's the article from Media Trump voters and focus groups slam Elon Musk. Musk's growing influence.
What did the Axios focus‑group reveal about Trump supporters’ view of Musk?
I didn't vote for him. Voters in a focus group who have supported President-elect Donald Trump universally said the incoming president's close relationship with Musk is not a good thing. You think? Axios teamed up with Engages Sego for a focus group of 14 swing state voters who all voted for Trump in 2016, some of whom swung back his way for the 2024 election. The report published on Friday revealed none of the voters, zero for 14, were willing to call Musk's relationship to Donald Trump a positive thing. Musk Endorsed Trump and was a major supporter of his campaign. Pause there. The biggest supporter. Hundreds of millions of dollars went to a pack that supported Donald Trump. Elon Musk was pretty much in charge of running all of the voter outreach.
Elon Musk was like giving like raffles, or he said job opportunities, a million dollars a day for people who would sign up basically to vote. vote for Donald Trump to register to vote for uh Donald Trump. Oh, but by the way, I know Republicans really wanted to stop uh Democrats from helping give people water who have to wait on crazy long lines so that they can vote because uh a lot of red states are voter-suppressed states, but I digress. Trump announced that Musk will lead what he's calling the Department of Government Efficiency, or Doge, which is meant to look at cutting back on government wealth. Pause there for a second. Yeah. So Donald Trump by fiat, like a dictator, is creating a fake government agency that never existed before called Doge.
It is based on the meme coin, the scammy meme coin with the same scammy meme coin logo that I think it's believed that Elon Musk had or has, or uh yeah, once had or has an interest in Doge. So there's
How is the fake “Department of Government Efficiency (Doge)” supposed to work?
Already, in my opinion, a conflict of interest uh attended to the relationship right there. Vivek Ramaswamy and Elon Musk are leading this thing. And when you go on Twitter, which is now X, it has a gray check mark signifying it is an official government account. Even though it's not an official government account, but they are masquerading like it is to what rule over the people? To uh cut. What important safety social nets that a lots of Americans actually rely on? It goes on to say in this article: of the 14 swing state voters polled through two online panels, 12 of them were familiar with Musk being an advisor to Trump. Five called it a bad thing, while seven did not know how to respond, but none would describe this relationship as good.
All 14 voters supported Trump in 2016 and then swung to Joe Biden in 2020. In 2024, five swung back to Trump, another five backed Harris, and another four voted For a third party.
