 "'Encouraging': Musk mocks Trump as approval rating falls to all-time low")
Amid their ongoing feud, billionaire Elon Musk has welcomed the declining approval rating of US President Donald Trump.
Trump’s approval rating has fallen to an all-time low of 40 per cent. Musk said in a post on X that the fall was “encouraging”.
The remark comes at a time when Musk and Trump have sparred again over the ‘One Big Beautiful Bill’. As Musk has continued to condemn the bill over trillions of dollars that it would add to the federal deficit, Trump has threatened to deport Musk — who emerged as his principal political partner last year until their public fallout last month.

As his immigration policies have triggered mass protests and trade policies have slowed economic growth forecasts, Trump's approval among Americans fell to 40 per cent in June from 44 per cent in March, according to a Yahoo News/YouGov survey conducted on June 26-30.
More Americans now disapprove than approve Trump’s immigration agenda — his strongest area.
From 44 per cent disapproval in March, Trump’s disapproval rating on immigration rose to 46 per cent in April, 48 per cent in May, and 52 per cent in June — with just 44 per cent Americans approving it.
While Musk has occasionally continued to praise Trump, he has completely turned against him on economy and trade. He said that all those supporting the ‘One Big Beautiful Bill’ “should hang their head in shame”. He said he would launch a new political party to take on the Republicans if the bill would pass.

In response, Trump threatened to deport Musk and cut his government subsidies .
When asked by a reported whether he would deport Musk, Trump replied, “We’ll have to take a look.”
Trump further said, “We might have to put Doge on Elon. You know what Doge is? The monster that might have to go back and eat Elon. Wouldn’t that be terrible? He gets a lot of subsidies.”
