[X-Men] Would Magneto's plan to mutate the leaders of the world really save mutants?

In 2000's X-men movie, Magneto builds a machine that mutates regular humans and gives them "super powers". Apparently, the mutated humans die from the changes wrought to their body (Mags doesn't seem to think this is a thing, though).  His plan is to use the device to mutate a group of world leaders gathered at a nearby summit. The X-men, of course, stopped this plan.

But would it have worked? I guess we can take two different tracks with this: one where the victims of the machine are going to die shortly after getting powers; and one where the machine works as it's intended to, and the world gets a bunch of new mutants.

The most likely event is that most of the VIPs die. Maybe one or two develop powers that counteract this (like a healing factor) but the attack is still interpreted for what it is: a terrorist attack. One that had an outside chance of converting the world's leaders to the mutant cause.

Things go very badly from that point.
