Tech billionaire and former Trump administration official Elon Musk\u2019s favorability has fallen to less than 25 percent in a poll released Thursday.<\/p>\n

Musk only garnered 23 percent favorability in the CNN poll, with his unfavorability at 60 percent. In the poll, 3 percent of respondents said they had \u201cnever heard of\u201d the Tesla and SpaceX CEO, while 14 percent were aware of him but had<\/a> \u201cno opinion.\u201d<\/p>\n
