He was the key guest at the VivaTech fair. During the parade, Elon Musk participated on Friday, June 16, in a round table of more than an hour at the Dôme de Paris. This Monday an interview with the businessman will be broadcast on France 2 in which he sweeps away the political ambitions that can be attributed to him.
“No I do not want.” The response from the owner of Tesla, SpaceX and Twitter merges in an instant. Elon Musk does not want to become president of the United States. According to him, the function is too limited. “The American Constitution is such that the office of the president is in a very, very limited situation or position,” he explains.
An inaccessible position for Elon Musk
Thus, the billionaire concerned with artificial intelligence would see his industrial ambitions, in the automobile with Tesla and in aeronautics with SpaceX, undermined by his presidential duties. However, the dilemma between politics and business will not present itself to the richest man in the world.
Elon Musk was born in South Africa, in Pretoria. He therefore, he is not a “born citizen”, a US citizen by birth. However, this is what the United States Constitution requires to run for the highest office in the United States.
