Because of mean tweets and hurt feelings …and the debacles of voting for the dented old man are endless, along with war, while the big orange meanie was able to keep the peace.
Not currently, you'd have to change the rules, which can be done in theory but won't in reality.
I hope they do not change the law. It shouldn't be changed just because one side or the other found someone born in another country they would vote for. I believe strongly in preserving the basic framework set in place by the founding fathers. On many things, they were wise beyond their time.

What?!?! You don't want to see Musk run against Putin?
My god, why in the world would he want to run for US President? It's such a thankless job these days. Elon needs to focus on technology and his new hobby of "stopping the insanity."
One requirement is that a candidate must be born on US soil. He was not born in the United States. But if I am not mistaken, Ted Cruz has run for president before, or has at least considered it. So can Elon Musk run for president some day? I almost believe he is setting himself up for a future run in a decade or 2. I think Trump's election gave him some ideas...
no. cruz was born of a US citizen (his mom); musk was not.
Cruz was unaware of his dual citizenship and when revealed, gave up Canadian citizenship to demonstrate loyalty.
The issue is that the Constitution does not define “ natural born “ and there is no agreement among scholars.
Nonetheless, Musk is clearly not eligible given he was born in South Africa to a Canadian mother and South African father. He moved to Canada to attend university. He hold citizenship in 3 countries, South Africa, Canada and the US.
While Musk appears to be the current darling of a subset of Conservatives, his ideologies have long been all over the place. He was a strong supporter of Obama.
He supported Andrew Yang and Universal Basic Income, a carbon emissions tax and estate taxes. Then he supported Kanye West’s run as an Independent. He claimed Trump did not have the character to be President.
He believes in global warming.
He criticized Bush, Obama and Trump.
He defines himself as non- partisan, socially liberal and financially conservative.
