Speaking at the Turning Point USA Summit in Phoenix on Sunday, President-elect Donald Trump laughed off the notion that Elon Musk would be "taking the presidency," saying, "That's not happening," and joking that Musk can't be president anyway since he wasn't born in the U.S. Trump spoke at AmericaFest, a political festival for conservatives put on by Turning Point, the conservative organization run by Charlie Kirk that was instrumental in helping Trump garner support among younger voters through its get out the vote initiatives in battleground states.
