As Musk Guts Federal Government, He Drives Tesla into the Ground
WASHINGTON, D.C. — According a poll from Yahoo News and YouGov released today, two-thirds of Americans say they would not drive a Tesla, and the majority name Elon Musk as the reason why. In the poll, a large majority of respondents had unfavorable views of Elon Musk and the so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and stated that Musk has too much influence over President Trump. Adam Zuckerman, senior clean vehicles campaigner with Public Citizen’s Climate Program, issued the following statement:
“Today’s poll shows that Americans are fed up with Elon Musk’s attempts to gut our country in what appears to be a cynical attempt to enrich himself and shield his businesses from scrutiny. They are sick of his attempts to cut veterans’ health care, social security, nuclear safety, and the agency that protects Americans from financial scams. Musk is driving our country into the ground. If he continues, he could take Tesla and America’s urgent transition to an electric future with it.”
