Munch-munch... Elrond was not descended from Gil-Galad. For him to 'claim' kingship, as we all seem to agree he would have had to do (since it would not automatically fall to him), long-winded debates and conferences would have ensued. Squabbling and politics is infinitely more suited to the race of Men than to the noble Elves. Good for them!
