Trump pushes back on 'President Musk' claims

President-elect Trump on Sunday rejected the recent dubbing of tech billionaire Elon Musk as “President Musk” by Democrats.

“No, he’s not gonna be president, that I can tell you,” Trump said at conservative group Turning Point's “America Fest” in Phoenix, Ariz. “And I’m safe, you know why? He can’t be, he wasn’t born in this country.”

Democratic leaders have recently implied that the tech billionaire is the “real leader” of the GOP in the wake of Musk’s hard-line campaign opposing a stopgap spending measure.
