It's interesting that many are debating the value of this 'rule', when this action is blatant abuse of his powers to silence his critics. He has now a lengthy and growing history of this type of behavior, so it was 100% foreseeable. He could just come out and say that its his twitter and he can do what he wants, but no, because he also wants to be seen as a 'defender of free speech'. He acts like a-hole, but then expects unquestioning adoration.

It's a comfort to me that the Constitution forbids him from running for president.

That is a mutable document.

You think that the anti-immigration party would galvanize around that issue?

I mean, Ted Cruz wasn't born in the US either.

The exact definition of natural-born citizen has never been tested. This is literally the only part of the constitution which uses that term, and it isn’t defined. Some interpret it to mean born of US parents, regardless of actual birthplace.

Regardless, we can be confident that a naturalized citizen like Musk doesn’t meet the requirement.

You'd be surprised about how much wiggle room there is there. Particularly given that the first few presidents weren't US citizens at birth either.
