Majority of British public believe Elon Musk having negative impact on UK politics, poll suggests

20 comments

1. SS: A recent Opinium poll indicates that 53% of UK voters believe Elon Musk’s involvement in British politics is negative, with only 12% perceiving it positively. 

   Musk has used his platform, X (formerly Twitter), to criticize Prime Minister Keir Starmer and the Labour government, accusing them of complicity in grooming gang issues and labeling officials like Jess Phillips as “rape genocide apologists.” He also suggested that the U.S. should “liberate” the UK from its “tyrannical government” under Starmer.

   The poll also reveals a divided opinion on conducting another national inquiry into grooming gangs, with 36% in favor and 28% preferring local councils to handle such inquiries. Approval ratings for both Labour and Conservative parties’ handling of the issue are low, with net approval ratings of minus 17% for Labour and minus 27% for the Conservatives. 

2. I would suggest that the majority of the British public would vote for Elon Musk to be barred from entering the UK.

3. The only thing I’ve seen the left and right united on, in a long time, is that Musk is a piece of shit.

4. I have no clue what hes actually said, as i dont really care. Hes an American who has zero influence on how we live

5. First poll where the people being polled aren’t idiots.

6. I’ll tell you a story.
   Of a man that was the farther musk.
   A friend of Gerffory Epstine.
   A weird cunt to be.
   Apart from birthing the cunt Elon
   He married his step Daughter, he knew when she was four

7. Musk attacking Starmer has probably *improved* Starmers poll rating.

   Only the thickest of brits are taken in by what some US billionaire posts on his microblog.

8. I think reddit is an echo chamber. Everyone on twitter loves him!

9. Us Brits don’t like cocky successful people. Even successful Brits we like to knock down off their perch, so this cunt can go get totally fucked.

10. Horrible fuck has a negative impact on everything he goes near

11. Can we all just stop giving this unhinged muppet the time of day?

    There are 68.35 million of us. 1 of him.

12. I’d go further in characterising him as an existential threat to British democracy.

    He thinks he can buy parliament and given he basically bought the White House, there’s precedent to suggest he’s right.

13. [removed]

14. Anyone who thinks a self serving billionaire narcissist cares for the common man in <any country> needs his head checking.

15. May be the first time Labour, Liberal Democrats, Green Party and Conservatives all agreed on something

16. Because, frankly, we actually have an education system, unlike America.

17. Musk is impinging on British Sovereignty and the spineless British Politicians in not telling him to do one are letting him

18. Let me correct that headline: “The UK Press peddle sensationalized shite most of the time – and then sensationalize how it impacts the nation for clicks / sales”

19. The UK might be a hot mess of classism and political division, but one thing is for sure. as far as the general population is concerned the only people who can talk shit about us is us.

    A foreigner weighing in is only going to be met with one outcome.

20. I think the saddest part of this whole affair is how two “British” parliamentary parties (Tories and Reform) are seemingly incapable of standing up to him. They’ve become Elon Musk tribute acts.

    Absolutely wet.
