What’s your opinion on Elon musk’s new political party?

@iamthe99 A reality that no one wants to face is that he is likely to eventually be president.

Yeah the constitution says he can't but that thing isn't worth the paper it is written on. The way our govt works, they just go in and change sh*t to fit their needs.

I have a feeling that once musk does end up in office, we will be wishing it were trump.

@iamthe99 there's no law that a party's presidential candidate has to be its founder. He can write policies and let another party member run for president to execute them.

@NerdyPotato Fair enough.

@iamthe99
Why is Elon not eligible to be POTUS?

@swirlie he wasn't born in the US.

@iamthe99
Elon doesn't have to be President anyway to form a new political party. Somebody else can be POTUS and can represent the new "American Party" that Elon wants to start.

@swirlie Agreed. But he can never be president.

@iamthe99
But Elon has never expressed an interest to be President anyway. Being President is not Elon's motivation for starting a new party.

@swirlie Whatever. You simply asked:


I told you why not. After that, I don't care.

@iamthe99
Your point was irrelevant in the first place. Why would you say that Elon can't be President because he's not eligible when Elon has never expressed an interest to becoming President anyway? Why would you even raise issue with his eligibility to become President while assuming that was his motivation for starting a new political party was to become President?

@swirlie Joy to the world.

Well, his new party may well fracture the Republican vote and sweep the Dems into power as a result, so good on him 😊
