Trump: Elon Musk will not be president of the United States.
According to Anadolu Agency, US President-elect Donald Trump, referring to reports about the excessive influence of Elon Musk, the famous American billionaire and owner of the social network “X” and also the Secretary of Productivity in the second Trump administration, said that this is not true and Musk is not going to become the President of the United States!
After Musk’s prominent role in preventing the passage of the budget bill in the US Congress last week, reports were published about Musk’s significant and excessive influence in the Trump administration.
Trump denied these reports, saying that he “did not hand over the presidency to Musk” and called this idea a “trick” by his political opponents.
He said, No, he will not become the President of the United States. Do you know why? Because he was not born in this country.
Musk, who is also the CEO of the automotive giant Tesla and SpaceX, was born in South Africa and is not legally qualified to hold the position of President of the United States.
Musk’s intervention in budget negotiations with Trump sidelined the interim funding bill, forcing Congress to find an alternative just hours before the government shutdown.
Although Musk’s influence has drawn criticism from both Democrats and Republicans, Trump has emphasized their shared goals, saying that his appointment as the new US Secretary of Productivity was aimed at reducing federal spending.
Trump and Musk’s collaboration has fueled speculation about a possible rift between the two, especially given that his controversial and high-profile actions have earned him the nickname “President Musk.”
