For those who think Elon “made a lot of sacrifices” working for a DOGE, here’s a reminder of 32+ investigations from 11+ federal agencies that he and his business are probably now a lot less worried about.

@olivia_p_walker 1. c’mon there are zillions of data points pointing to his reputational decline, such as sales around the world, protests, etc. You are deluding yourself if you don’t think his reputation is down. This evidence converges with lots of other stuff.
2. Meh on the sacrifices. He

@GaryMarcus As of 2024, the U.S. population alone is 340.1 million. Point is, 16,000+ poll responses isn’t representative. Still though, the data tells a story: which is why it’s messed up that people accuse him to doing all he did for personal gain. He made sacrifices. clearly

Could this explain why Musk just announced he will do a lot less political spending going forward? 🤔
