Good morning, hope everyone’s having a great Sunday.
I came across something that honestly made me laugh, and I had to share it.
You might be familiar with the right-wing polling outfit Rasmussen Reports. They’re notorious for releasing polls skewed in Trump’s favor during election season.
Well, they just published a poll where the results clearly didn’t go the way they hoped. Rasmussen is now complaining on their website that “the vast majority of self-identified liberals overwhelmingly favor laws to put Elon Musk behind bars.”
Um… obviously?
“A new telephone and online survey by Rasmussen Reports and the Heartland Institute finds that 54% of Likely Voters would support a hypothetical law that would imprison Musk for his role in the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), including 39% who would Strongly Support such a law.”
It turns out, when you use your vast wealth to buy the largest social media platform, turn it into a propaganda vehicle for Trump, and then spend hundreds of millions of your own money trying to elect him—all with the goal of pausing regulatory investigations into your businesses—Americans don’t really like that.
It also turns out that most Americans actually prefer to protect their own class—the working class—rather than the richest person in the world as he wanders around the White House, trying to shut down investigations into his own companies.
I want to be clear—this isn’t speculation, it actually happened, and almost no one is talking about it. Before Trump was inaugurated, there were 32 open federal investigations into Elon Musk’s companies. After Trump appointed Musk as a special government advisor and started firing inspector generals, every single one of those investigations has either been halted, buried, or is being slow-walked.
Every. Single. One.
“Seventy-one percent (71%) of Democrats would favor a hypothetical law to put Musk behind bars, as would 80% of self-identified liberal voters. Fifty-four percent (54%) of Republicans and 57% of conservative voters. would oppose such a law. Among voters not affiliated with either major party, 52% would support a law to imprison Musk for his role in DOGE, 34% would oppose it and 17% are not sure.”
So why do a majority of Americans want to see Elon Musk behind bars?
Because we’re tired of watching the richest people on Earth escape accountability. And here’s the key distinction—I want to be absolutely clear about this: we want Elon Musk in prison after he goes through due process. He deserves a trial. He deserves legal counsel. We actually respect the rule of law. What we don’t respect is how billionaires like Musk get to avoid that process entirely—never charged, never tried, never held to the same standard as the rest of us. That’s the outrage.
Let this Rasmussen poll be a reminder: when like-minded people across the country—people like you and me—come together to amplify a message, that message gets heard. Elon Musk tweets hundreds of times a day, flooding the zone with pure fiction. That’s why we’re building an apparatus at Mockler HQ to push back against the MAGA propaganda machine.
I don’t take money from investors—I stay independent. I’m backed by people like you. If you value this kind of work, consider subscribing to support it.
Yes, Musk should stand trial for his clearly illegal actions. But unlike the orange madman, we believe in due process, not shipping people upon arrest to a foreign concentration camp.
Keep the polls coming! On point as always Adam.
