He aspires to be a populist demagogue. I have no doubt he'll be running for president one of these days. edit: I'm dumb, he can't run for president of the US.

You can't run for President in the US if you were not born in the US, even if you are American.

As long as your mother is American, it doesn’t matter where your born.

I’m genuinely curious. I hear this “constitutional rights” line from many conservatives. What rights are being violated?

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble , and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances

this definitely tops the list of crazy things musk has said, it would be funny if so many people didn't take every word he says as absolute truth

he also "predicted" close to 0 covid cases by end of April (groan): https://twitter.com/JBauernberger/status/1255452046897135617

wow, that's... bonkers. i wonder why the hell he's saying this kind of thing -- it's not like his companies are having issues due to covid-19 (afaik).

Car sales have crashed, and EVs in particular will lose a lot of allure from dirt-cheap oil. Tesla is in for a rough ride in the next year or two.

He can never be President as he was born in South Africa.

Not just because he was born there, George Romney and McCain were born abroad. The thing is they need to be a "natural born American citizen".

What's the context of this tweet? Is he just trolling?

He is mad that the lockdown is losing him money, and he wants to force people to risk their lives to go back to work making him money.

Isn't Elon wating for a huuuuuge payday? One that could not happen if the stock drops too much?

Which raises the question, whether or not, this Tweet is similar to the going-private one.
