New Poll: Democrats Want to Jail Elon Musk for Fixing Government

Elon Musk has done many things that should have earned him praise from both the left and right: He helped revolutionize electric cars, pushed the limits of space exploration, and championed free speech for all people, not just the ideological factions with whom he agrees. But after briefly serving in the Trump administration’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)—a bold attempt to eliminate waste and rein in the bloated federal bureaucracy—Musk has now become Public Enemy No. 1 for the modern left.

A stunning
new poll conducted by The Heartland Institute and Rasmussen Reports reveals just how far Democrats are willing to go to silence those who dare to challenge the administrative state in Washington, D.C. An astonishing 71 percent of likely Democratic voters say they would support a hypothetical law that would imprison Elon Musk for his role in DOGE.

Yes, you read that correctly. Seven in ten likely Democratic voters want to imprison Musk for trying to make government more efficient.

This isn’t satire. This is the modern Democratic Party, where liberalism has evolved into authoritarianism dressed in the clothes of compassion and equity.


It Gets Worse

Incredibly, the numbers are even worse for those who identify as “liberal” in the survey. This includes ideological liberals in all political parties, not just the Democratic Party. Eighty percent of liberals say they want to jail a private citizen for working in a government department whose sole mission was to cut waste.

That’s not all. In a separate question included in the survey, respondents were asked if they would support a law to keep Elon from serving in government again, in any capacity. This, of course, would be an overt violation of constitutional rights. However, that didn’t stop nearly 70 percent of Democrats from supporting the proposal.

The poll also found that 80 percent of Democrats have either a “very” or “somewhat” unfavorable opinion of Musk. That might not be surprising given the coordinated media campaign against him. Since taking over X (formerly Twitter) and allowing dissenting voices back onto the platform, Musk has been relentlessly demonized by the same people who once championed him as a climate hero.
