I thought I also said someplace that I thought he'd eventually end up in prison, but I can't find that quote.  I'd like to amend that statement, if I can ever find it, to "he'll eventually end up in prison, or the White House.  Either one."

Duh, I forgot.  But he's still gonna be in the White House, just not as POTUS.

100% of the stock price is a bet on hype.

Eh, there is a viable car company in there.  It's just said viable company is worth nowhere near Tesla's current market cap.

yes but the line sounds more snappy if I say 100%

Or Trump just issues an Executive Order re-defining Article 2 (as he is apparently going to do with the 14th Amendment) and get the USSC to confirm (which they will). 

Article 2 reads:
QuoteNo Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President

What if Trump states that the Executive Branch interprets the "at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution" as irrelevant, since it is separate by a comma into a separate clause, and the proper interpretation is

QuoteNo Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, shall be eligible to the Office of President

Voila!  Musk is eligible.

When you amend the constitution do you readopt it?

Don't give the Kangaroo Court any ideas <_<

That said, Musk wasn't a citizen until 10 years after the 27th was adopted, so that loophole wouldn't work for him anyway.
