Elon Musk, despite being a prominent public figure and the subject of presidential speculation, is ineligible to run for President of the United States due to the natural-born citizen requirement stipulated in Article II, Section 1, Clause 5 of the U.S. Constitution. This constitutional clause specifies that only a natural-born citizen of the United States can hold the office of President, which excludes Musk, who was born in South Africa. While there has been public encouragement and speculation on social media about the possibility of his candidacy, these discussions do not align with the constitutional requirements for presidential eligibility.
