Is the name Elon going to hurt the university?

Why would you think this is limited to Dems? I know a lot of Republicans who hate both Trump and Musk.

Absolutely yes. They need to rename to survive.

I hate Musk, and everything else about the current administration, as much as anyone but this honestly never occurred to me until I read this thread. So no, if I still had a kid looking at colleges this wouldn't be an issue.

No. University was there before.

Wtf OP.

The founders of Elon College named the school “Elon”, because they understood that to be the Hebrew word for oak, and the area contained many oak trees.[5] The town was called "Elon College" until the college known as Elon College became Elon University. The town then changed its name officially to Elon."

And Adolf was a very masculine name meaning “noble wolf”. How many of you had Adolf on your short list of baby names?

Just because the name had other origins doesn’t mean it won’t have new associations.

If you believe the polling, the majority of male Gen Zers break conservative.

This is why Dems just announced some moronic initiative to appeal to young men.

Isn't it on the rise?

Um, no. Not sure where you could've gotten that.

It is even close how many male Gen Zers identify more with say Musk than Bernie.

I didn't even know that was a school...

DC is a rising junior and we are starting to look at schools, and I just can't imagine looking there.

Good grief.

One of their reps basically apologized for the name at a college night panel this past spring

Both DC loves the campus and the tour.’ Names doesn’t impact our decision to apply. I don’t care what stupid people think.

Baffling.
And also hilarious that literally the only people I knew who owned Teslas and were obnoxiously obsessed with them have been scrambling to sell them as fast as possible so that they can distance themselves from Musk. It has taken everything in me not to laugh and point out that the ONLY people stupid enough to mistake a Tesla driver for a MAGA Republican are the fellow leftist protestors who are going around lighting fire to teslas!

Embarrassing that they would lean in to such stupidity
