In a world where tech titans seem to rule the roost, a new Gallup poll just dropped some spicy tea that’s going to make Silicon Valley squirm.

Imagine being so universally disliked that even Donald Trump looks somewhat tolerable by comparison. That’s exactly where Elon Musk finds himself right now, with a jaw-dropping 61% of Americans giving him a resounding thumbs-down. Talk about a tech reputation implosion!

The Favorability Bloodbath

The poll reveals a brutal landscape of public opinion. While Gavin Newsom is limping along with a 30% favorability and Trump is nursing his 43% wounds, Musk has managed to sink even lower. His mere 33% favorable rating makes him the least liked public figure in the country right now.

Bernie Sanders: The Lone Star

Amid this sea of negativity, Bernie Sanders emerges as a beacon of hope, sporting a surprisingly robust +11% favorability. He’s basically the only politician people seem to genuinely like these days, which honestly tracks for anyone paying attention to the political circus.

The Musk Effect

What’s driving this massive public disdain? Perhaps it’s his erratic Twitter (sorry, X) management, his controversial political statements, or simply the growing fatigue with billionaires who seem more interested in personal branding than actual societal contribution. Whatever the reason, Americans have made their feelings crystal clear: they’re over Elon Musk.

In a landscape where public figures are constantly walking a tightrope of popularity, Musk has somehow managed to spectacularly fall off – and the internet is here for it.
