Musk Favorability Among Republicans Drops After Trump Feud: Poll

A Quinnipiac poll conducted June 5-9, 2025, found Elon Musk's favorability among Republicans fell to 62%, amid a public feud with President Trump.
The decline followed Musk's vocal opposition to Trump's spending bill and a messy falling-out that escalated into a social media war of words last week.
Despite the slide, 80% of Republicans in early June rated Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency efforts as excellent or good, though about 30% hold an unfavorable view of Tesla.
Musk acknowledged on X that some posts about Trump 'went too far' and expressed regret, while others like Alabama Republican Katye Long noted their feelings toward him have cooled but remain somewhat favorable.
The poll and ongoing backlash suggest Musk’s association and recent clashes with Trump contributed to diminishing enthusiasm among Republicans and increased negative views of Tesla.
