I’m not sure he’d have any of the two major parties wanting him.
He’s too libertarian and irresponsible with his comments for the Democrats to want him.
He’s far too liberal in his causes and companies to be a Republican.
Of course I don’t believe either party can stop affiliation if he did decide to enter into politics.
Of course that’s only really talking about the federal level. He could have a much better shot at the state or local level as an independent or as a member of either party.
- war1025 7y agoI don't think there is anything that political office could offer him that would be worth the bother. The only scenario I could see potentially being appealing to him is a Trump-style takeover of the Presidency. Edit: As someone pointed out, Musk isn't a natural-born citizen and therefore can't run for President. So there is no political office that could be even remotely worth the bother.
- pmachinery 7y agoAIUI he can't become (US) president.
- war1025 7y agoThen there is nothing of value that going into politics could offer him.
- dagmx 7y agoWhile I do not think he would enter politics, I think (in the hypothetical situation that he does) it could offer him some amount of local policy change direction. Or at the very least an ego trip. But I agree, I do not think he’d ever do a political run. I was merely responding to the other person with my initial comment.
