Elon Musk's image isn't what it used to be. The Tesla CEO's feud with President Donald Trump risked worsening his already underwater popularity, and new polling shows that even the apparent peace between the once-friends hasn't repaired Musk's standing with Republicans.

Elon Musk on Saturday doubled down on his distaste for President Donald Trump's sprawling tax and spending cuts bill, arguing the legislation that Republican senators are scrambling to pass would kill jobs and bog down burgeoning industries.

Musk trashed the legislation as a "disgusting abomination" for not cutting government spending enough. He also alleged Trump appeared in confidential Justice Department files about the late sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, which the White House has denied. But Musk later apologized.
