Musk wasn't born in America, so he's ineligible to run for president.

Which is why he bought the closest thing to being president. So now he wants to de facto be president.

The point is highlighting the practical result, which in some ways seems that musk is calling the shots rather than Trump. Definitely has more power in effect than Vance. Yes he's not technically going to be the president. But that technically seems to be doing a lot of heavy lifting here.
