Republican lawmakers propose Elon Musk as House Speaker, despite his ineligibility due to citizenship.

Some Republican lawmakers, including Senators Rand Paul and Mike Lee and Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, have proposed that Elon Musk become the next Speaker of the House. This suggestion comes amid criticism of the current Speaker, Mike Johnson, over a controversial spending bill. Musk, who was born in South Africa, is ineligible for the role due to not being a natural-born U.S. citizen. Despite this, supporters argue that Musk's influence could bring about government efficiency and disrupt the political establishment. The proposal has received mixed reactions, with Democrats opposing it as undemocratic.
