After 100 Days, Most Americans Hate What Elon Musk Is Doing to the Government

Elon Musk's divisive approach during President Trump's first 100 days led to significant changes in U.S. government operations, including the dismantling of key agencies like USAID, unauthorized access to sensitive data, and preferential treatment for his companies, all while his approval ratings plummeted with just 35% approval among adults—significantly lower than Gen X's optimistic 42%. Critics label his strategy as ineffective yet controversial, accusing him of causing "worst of both worlds" outcomes without delivering tangible savings or benefits. This unpopular move has already cost taxpayers billions in legal and operational expenses without delivering any visible results.
