Brits overwhelmingly reject Elon Musk as half say he's 'threat to democracy'
A new poll found both the erratic tech billionaire, and Tommy Robinson whom he championed on Twitter, are deeply unpopular with the public.
“What is beyond doubt is that Elon Musk’s comments have cut through to the public and many people share the same anger about the handling of grooming gangs,” Luke Tryl, the Director of More in Common said.
“However, that is as far as their agreement with Musk goes. Musk is a deeply unpopular figure in the UK, with a net favourability rating of -35, lower than Nigel Farage or Tommy Robinson."

Should Starmer worry about Elon Musk’s attacks on his government?
Elon Musk’s support for Mr Trump was a key factor in the former president’s successful bid to return to the White House. With 210 million followers on X (formerly Twitter), not to mention his ownership of the platform, he wields huge influence over public discourse and enjoys particular support among young men.
But despite his reach, pollster Luke Tryl, UK director of the More in Common think tank, has said Mr Musk’s approval rating is “underwater”.
More in Common polling shows Reform UK voters are the only people who have a positive view of Mr Musk, with Labour, Conservative, Lib Dem and Green supporters all opposing the billionaire.
