He owned a company called X.com that merged with another company and they renamed it Paypal. He was one of the founders. That is where he made his first big money.

It is estimated that he made $175 million when they sold it to Ebay in 2002.

Gotta hope that Elon Musk decides to throw his hat into the American political ring.

He can start small as governor, then prez, and ultimately he can change his name and rule the world as Darth Vader.

With all the rockets he's building soon he can rule the universe.

He's not a natural-born citizen; therefore, he cannot become POTUS.

I wouldn't mind seeing him as a Senator or something; I don't think he'd be a particularly good Governor.

Why? We need more racist senators or something?

I have no idea if he's a racist or not. I just think having a handful of Senators who can spout off unique and outside-of-the-norm ideas...which would be disastrous 90% of the time...would be nice to have. Maybe a person like that thinks up a solution that nobody else would have and even the 'sane' people in the room say, "Shizzz...that's actually a really good idea."

Of course, you'd need a functional Government first; I don't think that will ever happen again.
