> both parties to dislike him at the same percentage

That's not true at all. The percentage of Democrats who dislike him is much higher.

The number of Democrats who started disliking him during the Twitter acquisition is much higher.

And the percentage of Democrats who started disliking him during the Twitter acquisition (as a percentage of the party) is also much higher.

As GP said, percentage growth in the percent who dislike him in each party is not a useful thing to compare. Doubling a side business from $100/month to $200/month is not comparable to doubling from $1M/month to $2M/month.

The percentages are the same. Why would Republicans dislike Musk more now that Musk is identifying as a Republican? And why is it the liberals fault, cause that's what was being asserted.

That's easy to answer: hostile media coverage and negativity on social media.

What do you think is driving the change from April to June if not his Twitter acquisition and identifying as a Republican?
