“No, he’s not going to be president, that I can tell you,” Trump said. “And I’m safe. You know why he can’t be? He wasn’t born in this country.”
As you know a true leader has to keep saying they’re the real leader
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 “removed, 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?
President Musk must be happy with his plaything :3
LOL, it’s working. Donvict is getting quite annoyed at doge dipshit stealing the spotlight…
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.
- Vice President
- Speaker of the House
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.
removed, 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.
Ted Cruz was born in Canada and clearly ran for United States President in 2016. I remember.
But notably Cruz was born to US citizens, therefore he was a citizen. Musk’s parents were not US citizens so therefore Musk is not a natural born citizen. Cruz can run, musk can not
Musk got a bill shut down in congress and replaced with one he liked in under a day, I’m not so sure if amending the constitution to allow him to be elected is beyond his reach at this point. it would probably require buying a few democrats also but I bet fetterman and a few others would be happy to join the winning team for the right price.
Amending the constitutional is a much higher bar than people think it is. You’d need way more than just a fetterman here or there. Keep in mind still had 38 republicans vote against his and Trump’s second version of the bill
It requires 2/3 of congress, and 3/4 of state legislatures
Assuming he loses zero republicans, this you would need:
67 in the senate meaning you’d need 14 dem senators
290 in the house of representatives meaning you need 70 dem reps
And in state legislatures, he’d need 38 of them to ratify. Republicans only have a trifecta in 23 (it’s unclear if governors can veto ratification or not), they have both state legislatures in 28, and it’s split in Alaska, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and we’ll see about Minnesota with some legal challenges.
If we assume no governor vetos nor any republicans going against it, that’s 28. Then let’s imagine in those split states you convince them all, that’s 33. Keep in mind each state has its own list of people you’d need to convince, not just one person here
Then in the other 5 you’d have to be talking about states with dem trifectas where it’s hardly going to be politically popular to bend to Musk
You would need on the order of at minimum of 100+ dems in congress and state legislatures to pull that off assuming governors don’t veto / ruled that they aren’t able to. And also assuming that all republicans go for it at all levels of government, and that dems in other states with republican legislatures don’t use procedural tactics to slow down ratification, etc.
That is correct, but let us not also forget the fact of Cruz’s birth when he now supports Trump, a major figurehead of the birther movement against Obama and the absolute irony of that. This movement claimed that Obama was not eligible to be President because they falsely claimed he was born in Kenya. Not only was he born in Hawaii, not Kenya, but his mother is and has always been a US Citizen, making him a naturally born citizen. So the his place of birth doesn’t matter, just as it doesn’t matter that Cruz actually WAS born abroad.
Also, they are getting rid of birthright citizenship, right?
Fuck off Ted back to Cuba.
(Not gonna happen ^^^right ^^^away, but it would be interesting)
Ted’s dad was born in Cuba
Heard from a credible source he also killed JFK!
It doesn’t matter as long as he was a US citizen.
He was born a blob fish though.
10,000 stinkbugs and cockroaches in a skin suit. Get it right.
Ted Cruz’s dad was Oogey Boogey?
