  • A new poll has found that a majority of the public believe that Elon Musk has had a negative impact on UK politics, as the billionaire continues his online attack on the government

A recent poll conducted by Savanta for The Telegraph has revealed that a majority of the British public believes Elon Musk has a negative impact on UK politics. The survey, which involved 2,256 UK adults, found that 41% of respondents viewed Musk's influence as harmful, while only 17% saw it as positive. This sentiment comes in the wake of Musk's controversial decisions, such as his handling of Twitter (now known as X Corp), where he has reinstated previously banned accounts and made significant changes to content moderation policies. These actions have sparked concerns about the spread of misinformation and the platform's role in political discourse. Additionally, Musk's interactions with political figures and his outspoken views on various issues have further shaped public perception, contributing to the prevailing negative opinion among UK voters.
