Given the thread on how much everyone hates Musk, it seemed like an interesting Devil's Choice....

Fuck you, Berkut.  This is as bad as AR's poll.

Trump seems much more likely to die in office. Who are their VPs?

Reluctantly, I must choose the person who has not yet tried to overthrow the US government.

Elon Musk isn't eligible, and if there was any sense to the world Trump wouldn't be either, so null vote.

Trump I'd say solely on the chances of him dropping dead are higher than Musk.

Elon Musk is not eligible to be President as he is not a natural born citizen. :nerd:

This. He is a known quantity as a crook.

Musk could turn out to be a Truss vs. Johnson's Trump. I admit, he could turn out good, but its unlikely.

I mean anybody who hasn't openly tried to subvert election results. I would feel much better about President Musk.

Well obviously this is a theoretical exercise. I seriously doubt Musk is interested in public service.

Fair point.

They would both make terrible Presidents for the same basic reason - they both appear to be mentally unstable narcisists.

Musk would be not just competent though, but actually incredibly smart. If he could channel that usefully, he could do radically more damage then Trump. Trump, at the end of the day, is grossly incompetent.

Yeah, Trump is too fat, dumb, and lazy to be more than peripherally dangerous.  Musk isn't that fat or that lazy.

Probably incorrectly but I'd be tempted to go with Musk.

Even if he doesn't really care (he might?), Musk has built so much of his image on green industry. Even if his motivations in doing this are pure profit, this puts him in a better place than Trump who would cancel green initiatives purely out of spite.

Plus as Tim said, Musk is just a dick whilst Trump is an open opponent of democracy.
