According to PANews, a Quinnipiac University poll reveals that over half of Americans are against entrepreneur Elon Musk playing a significant role in U.S. President Donald Trump's administration. Previously, The Washington Post labeled Musk as the "shadow president" due to his active involvement in discussions over federal funding bills, which have threatened government shutdowns. The poll indicates that 53% of respondents disapprove of Musk's prominent role in the Trump administration, while 39% support it. Notably, 90% of Democrats oppose Musk's influence under Trump's leadership, whereas 73% of Republicans are in favor.
