Seriously, Elon is not ready to be a politician. President Trump learned a lot of things before he became effective. Mr. Musk has not even started on that learning curve - which has much more to do with how hard you can push other politicians than it does abot the possible ends to the pushing.
Elon knows the possible ends, but doesn’t (yet) understand how to leads the cats to water, so to speak.
President Trump seems to have learned both the carrot and stick.
JMHO.
We can pass Propositions.
Call it the DOGE Act.
Why in the world would he do that?
SpaceX, Tesla, Twitter/X, investing and enjoying life.
This would be an absolute waste of Musk’s talents. Any number of competent people can effectively govern California if they’re not left-wing idiots.
True. The people here are just plain DUMB. They have no clue about what’s going on in the rest of the world, no one is accountable, governments have an inexhaustible supply of money.
He’s best suited to what he’s been doing, in terms of Government work. Hatchet Man and White House IT support.
Theres only 24 hours in a day and Musk already uses 20. Let him be. If California is so desperate that this is the best idea that they can come up with to solve their problems, then California is doomed. Fix your own damn problems.
He’s looking at all the crap being thrown at Trump 24/7, and saying heck no to political office.

If you think Musk will accept a 9-05 job, your thinker is overdue for an overhaul.
Elon’s trying to get us to Mars - why would he want to be in charge of a craphole?
From early 1960 to July 1970 I grew up in the Ventura area. Meiners Oaks last two years. I was a baby and left at 10.
It was that 68 crap and property taxes that drove us out. Watts, Manson, etc.
Does he even have a chance? I thought we were going to try him out in a deep red state where he has a possible chance.
Sign the petition to draft Elon for governor and turn California around. Your voice can change the state and the nation!

That’s the biggest pipe dream I ever saw and so unrealistic, it’s laughable.
