CNN Data Guru Harry Enten joins the anchor John Berman Tuesday to discuss the figures surrounding That of Elon Musk place in American politics today.

“Take a look at his favorable net rating. This is going in the wrong direction, folks. This is going in the wrong direction,” Enten began, adding:

So if you go back to August 2021, watch this. It was plus five net favorable. He buys Twitter X going to minus four, minus eight earlier this year. It is now at minus nine points. It’s almost like he’s a politician, because almost every politician in our country has negative net favorable ratings. And now Elon Musk has gone in the wrong direction when it comes to popularity.

“A lot of these dates relate to when he bought Twitter. How is Twitter doing? » Berman continued.

“Yeah, so this is getting really interesting, isn’t it?” So let’s take a look. American adults who use and these are, of course, famous customers or some might say infamous customers of social media. Look at this, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Twitter/X are going in the wrong direction. So, American adults who used Twitter/X before Musk bought it, or 27%. Look where it is now. It’s 21%,” Enten responded, noting the declines on the platform as other sites like BlueSky take off.

“Once again we are going in the wrong direction. And it’s very different from other potential customers. You know, TiKTok is a little bit on the rise. Instagram is on the rise a bit. Facebook is down, but just a point well within the margin of error. Twitter/X is unique in that it actually loses adults who say they use this particular social media client, Mr. Berman,” Enten concluded.

“But how does he do it? How is he really doing? » Berman then asked.

“Yeah, how is he really?” So if you look at this opening slide, what does it say? It looks like Elon Musk is losing, but in fact he is winning,” Enten responded, noting:

So one of the main reasons he bought Twitter/X was because he wanted to make it his own platform, remake it in his own image. And I think that really gets to the point. Look at this. The idea of ​​celebration among those who regularly use X/Twitter for news in 2022, 65% of those who regularly use Twitter/X for news.

Among Democrats, only 31% were Republicans. Look where we are today. It’s just a completely different picture now. It is essentially split between Democrats at 48% and Republicans at 47%. And what I have to note, Mr. Berman, is this. from now on, this new overall composition corresponds much better and even more to the overall electorate. More than that, John. Look at where Mr. Musk’s net worth is today compared to where it was just two months ago. He is by far the richest man in the world.

Two months ago. Look at this. His net worth was 252 billion. Look where we are today. 314 billion. He is by far the richest man who has ever lived on this planet. So yeah, he’s not as popular. Yes. Twitter/X may not be as popular, but it’s a very different platform, one that represents more That of Elon Musklet’s say, political instincts. And he is now a much richer man.
