3rd Why not have a Billionaire very different than Trump who does not need the paycheck and would take a token $1.00. What might he bring to the table?

Would you vote for Elon?

It is a non-starter. Elon Musk does not have any political experience or understanding of how government works. Furthermore, he has legal issues (e.g. lawsuit over failed Twitter purchase, etc.) and holds unpopular views (e.g. proposed Ukraine concede territory to Russia, etc.)

Not enough answers. We can't vote for him because he will never be able to run. Your first point pretty much makes this moot. Elon will never be able to run for President. He wasn't born here, his parent were not Americans, and having 3 citizenships doesn't help his case. I do not want this requirement changed in our Constitution as it opens up the office to more issues.
