Musk is much more powerful in his current position.

Also he was not born in the US and cannot run.

You don't actually have to be born IN the US. See John McCain. But Musk still can't run.

> Musk still can't run

Can you please explain this?

USA president must be older than 35 and natural born citizen. That is born either on the soil of USA or to parent who is citizen at the time of birth.

McCain was born in the panama canal control zone and at that point the panama canal control zone was controlled by the US.
