Tech Billionaire, Space Pioneer… and Future POTUS?
With Donald Trump officially out of the race for 2028, political analysts, Twitter conspiracy theorists, and your neighbor who’s “really into politics” are all asking the same question: Could Elon Musk be America’s next president?
Musk’s ‘Master Plan’ for the White House
If Musk did run (hypothetically), his campaign would probably look something like this:
- “Make America Mars Again” (MAMA) – Yes, he’d want a SpaceX-funded colony on Mars before fixing potholes in Kansas.
- “X” Instead of the White House – Forget press conferences; all government updates would be sent via cryptic tweets.
- Tesla Tanks and Cybertrucks for the Military – Who needs traditional defense when your army can self-drive into battle?
- Banning All Traffic Lights – “They’re outdated. Let the AI decide who gets to go first.”
Sounds crazy? Not more than some actual campaign promises we’ve seen before.

Can Elon Musk Actually Run? (Reality Check)
Unfortunately for those dreaming of a “Musk 2028” takeover, there’s one big problem: the U.S. Constitution.
To be president, you need to be:
- At least 35 years old (Elon Musk is good here).
- A U.S. resident for 14 years (Check).
- A natural-born citizen of the U.S. (Oops, Musk was born in South Africa).
No amount of Twitter polls or Neuralink implants can change that.
So, Who’s Actually Running in 2028?
Since Musk is off the ballot (unless the Constitution suddenly updates via a Tesla software patch), here’s who really might take the stage:
Democrats
- Kamala Harris – The comeback candidate, still the party favorite despite her 2024 loss.
- Gavin Newsom – California’s governor and the guy who always seems almost ready to run.
- Oprah Winfrey? – America loves Oprah. Could she pull a Trump and jump from TV to politics?
Republicans
- J.D. Vance – Trump’s VP, now the GOP’s leading contender.
- Ron DeSantis – If he tries again, maybe he’ll actually smile this time.
- Vivek Ramaswamy – The anti-woke warrior who’s probably already preparing his Twitter memes.
And let’s not forget wildcard candidates: Mark Cuban, The Rock, or whoever goes viral next week.

The Future of Musk’s Political Influence
Even if Elon Musk can’t become president, that doesn’t mean he won’t shape the election. He’s already influencing policy debates on AI, electric vehicles, free speech, and space exploration.
- Will he endorse a candidate (or fund his own party)?
- Will he turn Twitter (sorry, “X”) into the ultimate campaign battleground?
- Will he launch his own government on Mars and call it “The Free Republic of Tesla”?
Nothing is off the table. This is America, after all.
One thing’s for sure—whether it’s a real candidate or a hypothetical Musk campaign, 2028 is going to be a wild ride.
