No, not at all, for 2 reasons. Firstly as we are discovering, being a good (or crappy) 'businessman" does not make you presidential material. Secondly, the whole topic is irrelevant as he is not even eligible to be considered as a presidential candidate because he is not a native born citizen.

He is an interesting person, a dreamer, an entrepreneur who seems to recognize no limits to what can be accomplished. Good president? I doubt it. A president has to live and function with very strong constraints on his authority and power in spite of the illusion (delusion) that he can actually make changes of consequence all alone.

Musk was born in Pretoria, South Africa and holds South African, Canadian, and U.S. citizenship.

So he can't be President.

Musk is awesome. But I don't know if he's well suited to being POTUS. I nominate him for president of the Milky Way.

Would Elon Musk make a great president?
As a natural born citizen of South Africa, he could run for office there.

No it is not. The U.S. is a Constitutional Representative Republic. You don't vote on every issue do you? That's a Democracy. Democracies suck, and are Mob rule. The Founding Fathers knew that.

That is why it is such an unfortunate situation that out current president hates democracy and prefers dictatorship.
What has Trump done to circumvent Congress, or the Courts? Has he single handedly implemented new laws, or illegal policies? How has he acted like a dictator? This thread is about Elon Musk. Why are you lying about Trump here?

We should not delude ourselves into thinking our democracy is infallible or will always exist. It requires constant vigilance to maintain.
Again, get an education. Not a Democracy!
