Democrats are attacking Elon Musk after Trump’s popularity

Democrats are now focusing their criticism on Elon Musk after unsuccessful attempts to weaken President Donald Trump's popularity. Despite various negative campaigns, Trump has maintained a strong support base, keeping a 47% positive rating in recent polls. In contrast, many voters have voiced their disapproval of Musk. Prominent Democrats, including Senator Bernie Sanders and Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, have launched a campaign called “Fighting Oligarchy.” They have criticized Musk's influence, highlighting concerns about his business actions. AOC addressed a crowd in Las Vegas, stating that wealthy individuals like Musk can harm the public good for personal gain. In Wisconsin, Democrats are using Musk as a target in a judicial campaign. They have released advertisements linking him to Brad Schmiel, a candidate for the state Supreme Court. One ad claimed that Musk is attempting to "buy the Wisconsin Supreme Court" with millions of dollars. Musk's super PAC has spent $7 million in this race, making it the most expensive state Supreme Court election ever. State Democratic leaders believe that attacking Musk may improve their chances in upcoming elections. They hope that these efforts will reveal how Musk's financial influence is viewed negatively by voters. Early tests of their campaign messages show a positive impact, suggesting that the strategy could be fruitful in the future.
