Voters say Trump would have won the election without Elon Musk
Share this @internewscast.com

During their face-off last week, Elon Musk boldly claimed that he was the reason President Donald Trump won the 2024 election. 

‘Without my involvement, Trump would have lost the election, Democrats would control the House, and Republicans would have a 51-49 majority in the Senate,’ Musk stated on Thursday. He added, ‘Such ingratitude.’

The billionaire, who leads SpaceX, X, and Tesla, donated approximately $277 million to Trump and candidates aligned with him for the 2024 race. Musk also personally supported the Republican nominee by joining the campaign trail.

But the two political power players engaged in a scathing social media feud ignited over differences in Trump’s ‘big beautiful’ tax bill. 

Musk even admitted he went too far in some of his posts on X, suggesting that Trump could be tied to known pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and more.

‘I regret some of my comments about President Donald Trump last week. They were excessive,’ Musk mentioned in a post on his social media platform X on Wednesday.

But in a Daily Mail poll conducted by JL Partners and released Friday, more registered voters sided with Trump than Musk. 

The polling found that 45 percent believed that Trump would have won the election without the help of Musk. 

Another 34 percent said Trump needed Musk to win. And 21 percent of respondents said they were unsure. 

When broken down by party, Republicans were more likely to say that Trump would have won without Musk’s help.

More voters think that President Donald Trump (left) won the 2024 election on his own than credited Elon Musk (right), with his vast resources, for Trump’s victory, new polling from the Daily Mail and J.L. Partners found 

Among Republicans, 71 percent said Trump won on his own, while just 15 percent said that Trump wouldn’t have won the November presidential election without the DOGE leader’s help. 

Fifty-three percent of Democrats credit Musk for Trump’s win, while just 24 percent said that Trump did it on his own. 

Amid their fighting, Musk suggested the idea of starting his own third-party. 

He floated the idea of forming the ‘America Party’ to represent the ’80 percent’ of people he said were in the political middle.  

When voters were asked what party they’d vote for if candidates in their area were running for office, a party created by Musk received only 4 percent backing among all the poll’s respondents. 

Overall Democrats had an edge – with 42 percent saying the Democratic Party – while Republican candidates received 35 percent. 

When voters surveyed were broken down by party, Musk’s third-party did the best with unaffiliated voters, with 7 percent backing that option. 

Just 1 percent of Democrats would vote for a Musk-party candidate, while 5 percent of Republicans said they’d make that choice. 

Democrats and Republicans largely stayed in their camps – with 86 percent of Democrats saying they’d support a Democrat and 84 percent of Republicans saying they’d vote Republican. 

On Friday, the Daily Mail and JL Partners released the first batch of numbers from the new poll – finding that Republicans overwhelmingly took Trump’s side in the fight despite Musk’s almost year-long association with the MAGA movement. 

Among GOP voters, 59 percent sided with the U.S. president, while just 12 percent chose Musk. Another 28 percent said they were unsure.

Since April Trump has lost some support with GOP voters, while Musk’s has grown – but Trump still has nearly five times as much support. 

Previous polling found that 70 percent of Republicans backed Trump, while 6 percent selected Musk. 

‘Republicans are clear: Donald Trump is their man. As our polling showed before, Trump voters are sticking by the person they backed in November over Elon Musk,’ said J.L. Partners pollster James Johnson. 

The fresh poll was conducted Friday with a sample of 1,006 registered voters, with a margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 percent.
