Trump Shuts Down 'Musk Presidency'Since Trump's victory and the appointment of Elon Musk as one of the chiefs of the Department of Government Efficiency, Democrats have criticised Trump and called his presidency a run for Elon Musk.
However, speaking at the rally in Arizona, Trump clearly stated that Elon Musk is "not going to be US President".

Russia, Russia, Russia, Ukraine, Ukraine, Ukraine… All the different hoaxes. And the new one is — President Trump has ceded the presidency to Elon Musk. No, no, that’s not happening. But Elon’s done an amazing job. Isn’t it nice to have smart people that we can rely on? He’s has a great job," said Trump.
Trump further stressed that Musk cannot be president of the United States. " You know why he can’t be? He wasn’t born in this country," he said.
Despite his contribution to the US and his role in the country, Musk is not a natural-born US citizen. The Tesla and SpaceX CEO was born in South Africa.
