nope; it is not a bonsai; there are lots of rule before something becomes a bonsai.

The succulent plant you have there is not a woody species and as such will not ever be a true bonsai. It is a species of jade

Yours is the crassula ovata, one of the jades. And no, it will not become a bonsai, as it is not a woody species. You may treat it as one, but it will never be one.
