Elon Musk has sought to accumulate political capital commensurate with his extravagant wealth. In the past year, Musk has publicly opined on global conflicts, met with numerous world leaders and US senators to discuss artificial intelligence and his space and satellite technologies. And he has courted senior Chinese officials on their home turf.
Mark my words, he’ll run for president in 5 years time.
And yes, I know he wasn’t born in the US, but when have rules or laws ever stopped republicans from trying.
