Peter Thiel is a naturalized US citizen. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Thiel

Musk was (mostly) great until 2020; Something happened to him during the COVID timeframe.

I'd not want Musk, Thiel, or Palantir guy to run for POTUS. Probably, there should be a clause that if your net worth exceeds the threshold, you shouldn't be eligible to run until you donate all of it to the government, with no option to get it back ever. Some more clauses can be added as well.

Edit 1: I think another clause, maybe most important, a minimum one term public office service experience required only as a Senator, Rep, Governor, or a Mayor.

>Peter Thiel is a naturalized US citizen

Oops, my bad, somehow I thought his parents naturalized before he was born.

Thanks for pointing this out; this helps the point I'm trying to make.

Can I vote for you and your proposals somewhere?

At this point, this reads like "I have a dream". But it's one worthy of trying to make a reality.

Aside from running the Thai cave diver's life (and slandering him as a "pedo") for daring to rescue the children instead of letting them die waiting for Musk's non-existent submarine to rescue them.

That, and being generally known for working his employees to the bone.

And the whole "I need to spread my superior seed" conveyor belt approach to having children.

And the "420 funding secured" nonsense.

Oh, and the Hyperloop hype, which he did with the sole intent to kill high speed rail in California (which he succeeded in).

And the Boring Company scam.

And... nevermind, he was a known, not OK", great asshole before* he went full Nazi, but I can agree that he was "great" in comparison to what he's become.

It's ketamine. Ketamine happened.
