Nah, just has to convince Trump to replace Vance with him, and then do a regicide.

The qualifications for VP are the same as the qualifications for President, Musk isn't eligible. For now.

I don't think the Constitution is going to be something they pay a lot of attention to, going forward, if they get their way.

Trump and Musk may not pay attention to the constitution, but I understand that the US armed forces swear allegiance to the constitution — while they must obey lawful orders of the president, unconstituional orders must be refused even if from the president.
