Elon Musk's ineligibility under Article II of the U.S. Constitution, requiring presidents to be natural-born citizens—he naturalized in 2002 after birth in South Africa—anchors trader consensus at 94% implied probability on "No" for any presidential run announcement before 2027. Recent developments underscore this positioning: after Donald Trump's 2024 election win, Musk was appointed to co-lead the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) with Vivek Ramaswamy, prioritizing advisory reforms over candidacy amid his $75 million support for Trump's campaign via America PAC. Musk has publicly affirmed his ineligibility multiple times, including post-election interviews, with no signals of intent to pursue the office despite political activism. Barring unprecedented constitutional challenges, traders see negligible path forward.
