        He’ll rent out an office space an hours drive from them and make them do it there.

      Between that and Diablo 4 he needs a lot of time to work on getting good. Whoever is boosting his account is likely under a strict NDA, but Id love to hear their story.

      Frankly, if Musk were President instead of Trump, I’d be rather happier about this upcoming four years.

      He can’t be President absent amending the US Constitution, though, as he’d run afoul of the “natural-born citizen” requirement for the office.

        what’s stopping the office of the infallable, god-king POTUS from just ordering it changed? the last decade has proven that the institutions made to act as guardrails against autocracy, bend in the wind with enough pressure

          The President can’t amend the Constitution. In fact, the entire federal government’s only role – not talking just the Executive Branch, but also the Legislative and Judicial – is, in one of the two amendment routes, to propose the amendment. In the other, they have no involvement at all. The amending process is really a process done by the states.

            my point was less about it being changed at the snap of a finger and more about it just being flat out ignored, and everyone just going along with it because the alternative is “fight the fed / civil war”
