Broken: Elon Musk Weighing Presidential Run

As if he didn't have enough going on, the "visionary" head of Tesla, is seriously considering running for President in 2020. In an exclusive interview, he told us, "I might as well, you know. I have a vision for America, see. We'll automate all jobs, give everyone a brand new Tesla automobile, and I'll launch myself into space. What could possibly go wrong?"

To a South African father and Canadian mother. I guess he doesn't know a President has to be born in the US.
