This occurred to me the other day and I feel like it’s so crazy that it maybe could happen. Is it too late for him to run in the upcoming election?

      I guess, I mean there could be value in having an outsider in office, just not him. But I don’t know. It is a little sketch.

        Put it this way, should the range of eligible candidates include the world’s richest person, or merely the richest person born in America?

          I think the thought of this rule is to prevent an actual puppet of an enemy country being bankrolled into office by a malicious foreign entity. Obviously he could do it himself. But he’d still probably destroy this county quicker than he destroyed Twitter.

            You’re talking to a guy who thinks that has probably already happened at least once, so I’m thinking if it at least stops Musk from running then the rule at least had an unintended good side effect.

            That said I don’t think more billionaires will need to become presidents to kill the country. They nearly succeeded with Jan 6 already.

              And that’s fair, there are plenty of puppets that were born here. But I guess in the brain of the founders, maybe that was was inconceivable. If that was indeed the intent.
