Sure, make the immigrant Musk Speaker, in line for the presidency (not eligible foreign-born), behind the VP (who was that anyway?). Of course, Musk wouldn't want that job since he already owns the presidency. Convicted felon DonOld obeys Musk. Hope MAGA Republicans are happy now.
Well, rand paul, mtg and magats in general don't think things through. Line of succession? What's that got to do with shaking up congress? Let's get radical before Jewish Space Lasers, vaccines, and man eating sharks destroy the USA.
Sure why not, let's see how far the fuckery can go! Afterall the Constitution is silent one WHO can be elected Speaker of the House; remarkably, even though the person is 3rd in the line of Presidential secession, said person does not have to be an elected official! Opssss!!!
"Well, officially at least, a Speaker who isn't eligible just winds up passed over for President." In today's pollical climate wherein Black letter Law, and Constitutional norms are routinely set aside by Republican without consequence, NOTHING is out of bounds!
Hence me specifying it'll be handled different in practice. Sad but true - it won't take much beyond "Trump dies of his dementia" and "the party turns on Vance" to get us a President Musk for real.

In practice - I'm sure they'd LOVE to pretend the succession order in the 25th overrides the birthright citizen requirement to hold office.
We threw one foreign would be king out, we can do it again....this time we have the playbook
