Contributing sentiments towards policy:

88% : When Trump announced that New York congresswoman Elise Stefanik would be his pick for UN Ambassador, Musk took to X to weigh in, saying, "Elise is awesome, but it might be too dicey to lose her from the House, at least for now."
60% : But he also hit the campaign trail drumming up support in the critical battleground state of Pennsylvania; made an appearance with Trump at a rally; stumped for Trump on Joe Rogan's popular podcast; hosted a live on X, which he owns; and used his platform and the power of his own celebrity to push the campaign's talking points and boost propaganda claiming Democrats would allow unauthorized immigrants to vote.
53% : In September, Trump said he would create a government efficiency commission with Musk -- whose business empire benefits extensively from government contracts and subsidies -- at the helm.
51% : And his posts on X, as well as his early post-elections interactions with Trump, make clear what that might look like.
50% : In his first administration, Trump famously made governing a family business, bringing his daughter Ivanka and son-in-law Jared Kushner into prominent positions.
38% : Reporting from the Financial Times revealed that Musk is looking to install his own loyalists and backers into the government, particularly people like Steve Davis, CEO of the Musk-founded Boring Company, and has reportedly asked Trump to appoint SpaceX staff to the Department of Defense.
