That's the point right? Elon doesn't need to be or want to be president, he just needs to call one up and say "bitch, change this dumbass law or I pull the plug on your media and financing" and then w/e president he just called does the thing.
Why do the work and be public when you can brainfart an order at 7:30pm after dinner and 2 weeks later some gears roll in favor of your cocaine dream.
Trump’s also disqualified from the office by the Constitution. The Supreme Court allowed it. They can allow Elon too.
Not exactly the same comparison. This would be far more blatant capture for the Supreme Court. The natural born citizen requirement is much more cut and dry. There were still some non-partisan legal people who genuinely thought Trump shouldn't be disqualified (though many many disagreed with them)
The Supreme Court does pass on insane legal ideas sometimes even if they allow plenty of horrible stuff too. Like in 2023 in Moore v. Harper, they ruled 6-3 against the Independent state legislature theory. Though on the flip side their presidential immunity ruling was indeed insane
Not exactly the same, no; the point being that the court can pull the rug from under Trump who thinks the rules that don’t apply to him still somehow apply to Musk.
How much money did President Musk pay Vice President Trunp to cover for him like that?
LOL, it's working. Donvict is getting quite annoyed at doge dipshit stealing the spotlight....
President Musk must be happy with his plaything :3
The timer is running on Elon's time on the good list. His ass is going on Trump's naughty list eventually.
If Musk becomes Speaker of the House ... couldn't he ? Speaker Johnson offered him the job. The speaker doesn't need to be a congress member.
And the speaker is in line to be president if Trump and Vance "happen" to die.
The U.S. Constitution and the Presidential Succession Act of 1947 outline the presidential order of succession. The line of succession of cabinet officers is in the order of their agencies’ creation.
I mean Trump is obsessed with ignoring the Constitution to stay president until he dies. Why wouldn't that be used against him by Musk ?
Not constitutionally no. He doesn't meet the requirement to be president which requires you to be born as a US citizen
Edit: also it seems like Johnson was moreso making a jab at musk in his comments about the difficulty of the job - rather than actually making him a genuine offer
The SC could just make a bullshit ruling that this only applies fo4 being elected president, rather than becoming president through succession.
I am aware of the born a US citizen requirement. Trump is also trying to get rid of naturalized citizenship.
But these guys are not big on rule following.
If musk becomes speaker, Trump and Vance should start to worry.
Trump will be 25a'd out of there very fast. Just you wait
Elon is to tRump like the Emperor was to Vader.
Bitch, he co-owns your stupid ass.
Kind of, right? No doubt Elon is a career criminal, just not charged. Yet. The greedy folk occasionally take their own down, too. If Elon isn't paranoid about that, he should be.
'He's not going to be president'
Too late, Trump has been purchased.
Listen to his "ahaha" at the end

He had to say he's "safe"? Lol wat
Sounds like donvict is worried.
you've heard of RINO and DINO, now meet the diaper-wearing, spray painted PINO.
Sounds like something a secure man says.
Something something not a true king.
I really want to see a press conference were a journalist asks if he has cleared that with Elon. Or just ask him what Elon's opinion is on some random thing.
And you'll never see it because journalists care way more about access to a politician than they do about truth. Doing that would just result in never being able to ask Trump a question again, and they know it, and act accordingly to their class.
It’s been kinda obvious from the beginning that Elon Musk is Donald Trump’s Grand Vizier.
And we all know how THOSE stories go.
But who’s the poor street urchin inadvertently roped into the vizier’s evil schemes?
An evil grand vizier whispering into the ear of the already-evil king.
...but he's the superior businessman?
That show hameriva works Mr trump. This was your idea.
