This tag should be applied to questions concerning acid and base reactions. An acid is capable of donating a hydron/ proton (Brønsted acid) or capable of forming a covalent bond with an electron pair (Lewis acid). A base on the other hand is a chemical species/ molecular entity having an available pair of electrons capable of forming a covalent bond with a hydron/ proton (Brønsted base) or with the vacant orbital of some other species (Lewis base).

Is "Sulfuric acid... makes a poor electrolyte... very little of it will dissociate into ions...

The apparent contradiction is due to the fact that none are absolute statements and to a misunderstanding of the term electrolyte. The dissociation of sulphuric acid is concentration dependent, so mor …

Can you meassure a negative pH value with a pH meter?

You are most likely getting an inaccurate value. As anticipated in Poutnik's comment above is difficult to reliably measure a $\mathrm{pH}$ of very acidic solution but the $\mathrm{pH}$ scale is indee …
