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.

Elon has the charisma of stale white bread. Trump's a gullible, narcissistic bully. Elon isn't a strongman, he's an awkward, weird nerd. Trump would give him a swirly first. However, it's possible Elon is just smart enough to manipulate him like a little puppet. Gawd knows Trump is probably the easiest manipulated creature in possession of human DNA. The man must at least know how to fake charisma, many kids as he's had.
