A new poll reveals that a jaw-dropping 81% of self-described liberals want the billionaire DOGE chief behind bars, simply for his role in the Department of Government Efficiency.

A Rasmussen Reports–Heartland Institute survey found that 71% of Democrats and 81% of self-identified liberals favor a hypothetical law that would imprison Musk for his DOGE involvement.

Additionally, 68% of Democrats back banning Musk from any government role.

In contrast, Meanwhile, 75% of respondents who voted for Trump in last year's presidential election have a favorable view of Musk.

The left supports tyranny, contends Justin Haskins, the poll’s primary author and a senior fellow at The Heartland Institute.

"The fact that a majority of Democratic voters would support imprisoning Elon Musk for trying to make government more efficient is a shocking indictment of the modern left, which has become increasingly more tyrannical in recent years," Haskins notes in an analysis of the Rasmussen survey. "We’ve reached a point where many Americans would rather unjustly punish innovation than fix the broken systems Musk was trying to reform."

Why do liberals and Democratic voters want Elon behind bars?

Since President Trump’s inauguration in January 2025, Elon Musk has slashed federal inefficiencies as DOGE chief.

He’s overseen the elimination of 12 redundant federal agencies, saving an estimated $180 billion annually, according to a March 2025 White House report.

Musk’s team implemented AI-driven audits, identifying $45 billion in misallocated funds within the Department of Education and redirecting them to infrastructure.

His push for transparent budgeting has forced 28 agencies to publish real-time expenditure data online, a first in U.S. history.

Musk also negotiated a 15% reduction in federal contractor fees, saving taxpayers $22 billion over three years.

The left isn’t just dreaming of gulags for innovators like Musk; they’re hellbent on destroying him and his companies.

Since January 20, 2025, when Musk assumed his role as head of the DOGE under President Trump, Tesla dealerships, vehicles, and charging stations across the United States—and abroad—have faced a surge of vandalism, arson, and gunfire.

More than 50 incidents have been reported in the U.S. alone, with at least 17 additional attacks internationally, ranging from graffiti to Molotov cocktail assaults.

Authorities, including Attorney General Pam Bondi, have labeled these acts "domestic terrorism," and the FBI has launched a task force to investigate. Below is a detailed account of the reported attacks, based on available information.

Not long ago, a majority of Democratic voters supported prison terms for unvaccinated Americans.

You may not vibe with the political left’s agenda, but fair warning: when you disagree with their worldview, they’re not just rolling their eyes—they’d love to see you locked up or worse.
