A Good Morning Britain (GMB) poll on social media has revealed that nearly two-thirds of respondents believe Elon Musk should not stay out of British politics, despite ongoing debates over his influence.
The poll, which attracted 42,436 votes, asked:
“Should Elon Musk stay out of British politics?
The final results showed:
- No – 65.8%
- Yes – 34.2%
This comes after Musk called for the release of Tommy Robinson, a controversial activist, and criticized the Prime Minister and Jess Phillips over the Rochdale scandal. Reports also suggest that Musk is considering donating to the Reform UK party, a move that has sparked both support and criticism.
The poll’s outcome has surprised many, with social media users pointing out that it contradicts expectations from mainstream media outlets. Commentator David Atherton reacted by saying:
“It looks like Good Morning Britain’s poll blew up in their face. Nearly two-thirds of Brits welcome @elonmusk’s involvement in UK politics.”
The debate over foreign influence in UK politics has been a contentious issue, with critics arguing that wealthy non-UK figures should not interfere, while supporters believe Musk’s stance on free speech and political transparency resonates with many in Britain.
Despite the overwhelming vote in Musk’s favor, the discussion remains polarizing. Whether his potential financial contributions or political endorsements will have a real impact on UK politics is yet to be seen.
