Does Elon Musk want Donald Trump's place?

Faced with questions about the growing political influence of the boss of X, the president-elect assured Sunday, December 22, that his ally could not become president of the United States, because "he was not born in this country".

"He is not going to become president, I can tell you that", declared Donald Trump, at a rally in Phoenix, Arizona.

"I am calm, you know why?", he asked the crowd. "He can't be, he was not born in this country", continued the Republican about the boss of Tesla and SpaceX, born in South Africa and naturalized American.

"I like to be accompanied by intelligent people", developed Donald Trump, assuring that Elon Musk was not in the process of "recovering the presidency".

Donald Trump is responding to criticism from the Democratic camp, who have portrayed the richest man in the world as "President Musk" in recent days, given how much political space he occupies alongside the president-elect.
