A Curious Study Seeks to Understand Which Group of Drivers Likes Elon Musk More: Those Who Drive Gasoline or Electric Cars.

A new study revealed an interesting fact about Elon Musk’s public image. The billionaire, known for leading companies like Tesla and SpaceX, has more support among gasoline car drivers than among electric vehicle owners.

The survey was conducted by Hill Research and the EV Politics Project in the United States. The study interviewed 600 people with a household income above US$ 50,000 in November 2024.

Gasoline Vehicle Owners Support Elon Musk More

According to the data, 42% of gasoline vehicle owners view Elon Musk favorably. Among electric vehicle owners, that number drops to 35%.

Effects on Tesla Sales and Image

With the growing rejection among left-leaning and centrist audiences, Tesla is facing declining sales and protests in various parts of the world. Musk’s own image may be affecting the perception of the company’s products.

Additionally, Tesla car owners report increases in vandalism cases, indicating that the CEO’s unpopularity may be impacting even the brand’s consumers.

Study Origin and Limitations

The EV Politics Project is led by Mike Murphy, a consultant linked to the Republican Party. Although the data seems reliable, the study has a relatively small sample size, which should be taken into account when analyzing the results.

So far, there are no clear signs of how Musk or Tesla will react. However, the gap between his image and the more engaged electric vehicle public could become an even greater challenge in the coming months.

Study Origin and Limitations

Seven world powers including the US, China, and Russia are spending €22 billion on a reactor in the south of France that aims to confine plasma at 150 million degrees Celsius, ten times the temperature of the Sun’s core, using a magnetic field capable of lifting an entire aircraft carrier.

While Brazil has been discussing bullet trains for 16 years, China delivers 5 new high-speed lines in 2026, surpasses 50,000 km of HSR, and moves 1 billion passengers in a single year.

With a wingspan of 152 meters, 76 tires, and a capacity to carry 1,270 tons, the Boeing Pelican was the giant “flying ship” that promised to cross oceans close to the water on an invisible air cushion beneath its wings.

Elon Musk’s internet comes to mobile: Starlink technology connects smartphones without an antenna via satellite, works even without carrier signal, already costs just US$10 extra in the US, and could arrive in Brazil as an included benefit.

While countries spend billions to draw water from the sea, a Nobel-winning scientist creates a container-sized machine that extracts up to 1,000 liters per day from dry air and uses ultrasound to release water in minutes, even in the middle of the desert.

Belgium will sink 23 giant concrete caissons, each weighing 22,000 tons, in the North Sea to build the world’s first artificial energy island 45 km off the coast, forming offshore electrical walls.

In Niger, mud buildings have stood for ten generations while the world spends billions on concrete and steel, now African architects are proving at the Venice Biennale and in real projects that red earth can be the smartest and most sustainable building material of the 21st century.

An R$ 330 million dam in Spain has been ready since 2015, stores up to 30 hm³ of water, but remains without agricultural use because no one built the necessary channels to bring water to the fields.

ChatGPT becomes a central piece in a lawsuit against OpenAI after an attack at a US university, and the case raises an uncomfortable question about how far artificial intelligence can be held responsible.

With a price of R$ 96,790, fuel consumption of up to 15.4 km/l, and leadership among hatches in 2026, the Hyundai HB20 Limited 1.0 enters the dispute against Volkswagen Polo and BYD Dolphin Mini, attempting to dominate the market below R$ 100,000.

Successful in the 90s and early 2000s, the video store will donate its entire collection on May 30 and 31. Approximately 10,000 DVDs will be distributed through the initiative of businessman Fabio Moschetta.

A one-kilometer bridge is almost ready to connect North Korea and Russia, built in about a year after an agreement between Putin and Kim Jong Un. It can handle 300 vehicles per day and cost more than US$ 120 million, according to Russian state media.
