This is inherently political, but I thought it was interesting at this point of the timeline of events unfolding, he could be the de facto President despite not being a natural citizen. Trump has shown evidence of deferring to political strongmen like Putin and Kim Jong Un. I just have a gut feeling that he'd defer to Musk, who has a strong personality of his own.
Edith Wilson was de facto president after Woodrow Wilson's stroke in 1919, for the remainder of his term, allegedly.
It's crazy to think about those few years. Woodrow had a bad stroke, and Edith basically didn't allow anyone to disturb him. So they'd bring issues/bills/etc to her, and she would go in and "advise" the President, and then come out and relay his supposed response.
The closest we've ever come to actually having a woman President.
Isn't that kinda more like a coup? She subverted the natural elected representative of the people and seemingly just took over the position of president with no resistance.
de facto is pretty fuckin close
