These are the 7 most hated brands in America—Elon Musk’s Twitter is No. 4

Twitter, Meta and TikTok are three of the world’s biggest social media giants.

They’re also three of the brands with the worst reputations in the U.S., according to the recently released 2023 Axios Harris Poll 100 reputation rankings.

Millions of monthly active users across the country couldn’t keep the social media companies off the list, which Axios and The Harris Poll compiled by asking more than 16,000 Americans to score the 100 companies they considered “most visible” across nine categories of reputation.

Meta and Twitter both scored poorly in the “culture” and “ethics” categories. Each business recently faced public backlash after laying off thousands of workers over email — just one in a series of escalating dramas at Twitter, which Fidelity estimates is now worth one-third of the $44 billion Elon Musk paid for it in October 2022.

TikTok underperformed in “citizenship” and “character,” amid growing concerns from American lawmakers over potential Chinese federal government influence on the platform.

They’re not the only brands with low approval ratings right now. Here are the seven brands with the worst reputations in America, according to the poll:

1. The Trump Organization 2. FTX 3. Fox Corporation 4. Twitter 5. Meta 6.Spirit Airlines 7 TikTok Americans named the Trump Organization as the company with the worst public perception in the country. It’s the only business on the list with a “very poor” overall score, the lowest possible tier.

The Trump Organization scored particularly low in the “character,” “trust” and “ethics” categories. The ranking was published just days before former president Donald Trump, who ran the Trump Organization for decades, was charged with 34 felony counts of falsifying business records ahead of the 2016 presidential election.***

I can't find the breakdown at the Axios website.

.....but since PATAGONIA IS NUMBER 1, I'm pretty sure it's a left-biased panel.

How does the Biden Administration avoid making the ‘Top 10 Most hated organizations’ given his 66% Disapproval ratings, lousy economy, skyrocketing crime, wide open borders, the “Systemic Sexual Molestation of our Children”, and disregard for the U.S. Constitution???

....and I’d LOVE to see how The Clinton Foundation scored if Axios put them on the list. Even thinking liberals consider Bill to be creepy.

The 100K+ truth tellers Twitter suspended all at once,
and STILL has not brought back,
might have something to do with that...

If Pfizer and Moderna aren’t #’s 1 and 2, it’s rigged.

frankly, any list of the 'worst' corporations that doesn't include microsoft is quite suspect.
