Assuming they don’t throw away the constitution that their base likes to jerk off too, how would musk qualify? He’s not American born. That and being over 35 are pretty much the only requirements.

they won’t throw away the constitution; they’ll modify it and a whole range of laws and rules that will enable musk and a bunch of other things that will become permanent from now on.

Can’t modify the constitution without a convention, a constitutional convention needs 2/3 of the states to agree to the changes IIRC, that’s why there hasn’t been an amendment passed in a very long time.

Assuming they follow the rule of law, which they likely won’t.

The supreme court can just reinterpret the rules for them.

that’s project 2025’s primary stated goal and it looks realistic right now since republicans already have the needful majorities in levers of government in all of the branches and the states.

the equal rights amendment was passed in 2020; so it’s definitely possible.

Trump doesn’t qualify either. Their base only cares about the 1st amendment (when it’s their speech) and the 2nd when it comes to owning guns (to hell with the “well regulated” bit). They don’t even know what any other parts of the constitution say.

It says nothing about being a felon 🤷🏻‍♀️

Also learn to not shit on the second amendment:

The 14th disqualifies insurrectionists.

Not sure how my comment could be taken to be shitting on the 2nd
