Dimon, a fellow billionaire, agreed with Musk that the U.S. government is “inefficient” but refused to give what he said was a ‘binary’ response to whether he agreed with DOGE’s actions.
When asked whether respondents approved or disapproved of the job that Musk is doing within the federal government, a net 34 percent approve compared to 49 that disapprove.
Musk faced heavy backlash following an email the Office of Personnel Management sent out, which appeared to be mandated by the billionaire, demanding federal workers respond with five bullet points detailing what they accomplished last week.
The poll, carried out February 13 – 18, found that 52 percent disapprove of Musk shutting down federal programs that he deems unnecessary, compared to 26 who approve.
Meanwhile, Americans’ support for Musk and DOGE could be waning after a new poll indicates that the majority disapprove of his cost-cutting frenzy.
