Poll: 80% of Self-Identified Liberals Support Prosecuting Elon Musk

  • A Rasmussen Reports survey on April 30-May 4, 2025, found most Democrats support imprisoning or banning Elon Musk from government for his federal waste-cutting work.
  • This attitude follows Democrats’ view that Musk engaged in unconstitutional acts while volunteering for President Trump’s administration.
  • By contrast, most Republicans oppose banning or jailing Musk and generally support his efforts to reduce government waste.
  • Justin Haskins, the lead author of the poll and a Heartland Institute fellow, remarked that many Americans prefer to unfairly hinder progress instead of addressing and improving the flawed systems that Musk aimed to change.
  • The partisan divide suggests Democrats’ opposition stems from political conflict and distrust, while Republicans largely back Musk’s government role and reforms.
