Good point, I somehow always forget he's not US born. But I think Elon sees himself more as Trump's successor in the kingmaker realm... not so much as being the king himself. With Twitter as his platform, he thinks he can take Trump's place as the person who makes or breaks Republican candidates... that they will all have to come kiss his ring after Trump is gone.Maybe. And if you can get the Republican nomination, you have 45% of the electorate locked up.
That said, a whole lot of people thought they would be the next Trump 2.0, and so far, no one else has been able to claim the mantle.
If Trump wins, then JD Vance is in the pole position. If Trump loses, it’s hard to imagine the Pubs will want to go down the businessman route again.
Not to mention he’d need a constitutional amendment in order to run.
