'He’s Finished, Done, Gone': Republicans Give Elon Musk the Boot: 'People Hate Him'

  • Republicans have largely withdrawn support from Elon Musk as his political influence diminished by May 2025 in Washington and the GOP.
  • This shift follows Musk's limited 130-day tenure leading the Department of Government Efficiency, during which his cost-cutting efforts and political actions sparked controversy and public disapproval.
  • Musk faced backlash after investing $21 million in the losing Wisconsin Supreme Court race and polling showed 60% disapproved of him personally and 58% disapproved of his task force methods.
  • One GOP official said Musk is "finished, done, gone," while public polls indicated support for cutting waste but not for Musk's approach, reflecting a growing disconnect.
  • The decline in Musk's political role suggests Republicans plan to distance themselves from him ahead of the 2026 midterms, despite hopes he continues supporting campaigns financially.
