Contributing sentiments towards policy:

65% : Since Trump's victory, Musk has emerged as one of the most influential figures in the president-elect's orbit and has been tapped to co-lead the so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) with a mandate to slash government spending.
59% : That is the percentage by which the like count on Musk's posts increased between July 13, when he endorsed Trump, and November 1, according to a study conducted by Australian researchers.

30% : The contributions include around $193 million donated to his pro-Trump America PAC before election day and another $20.5 million to a PAC that endorsed Trump on abortion issues.
