Jesus is a god? No.
There is only one true living God and there is no other god in existence either above or below him.
In Hebrew elohim can mean gods but it also means judges depending on the context.
When Jesus quoted scripture, "I said you are gods" it was a mistranslation. The consequence of God in giving the Law to the Jewish people was making them judges of the law, not gods. This was his legal argument against the charge of blasphemy by claiming to be the Son of God since the act of God in giving Jesus the revelation about the figurative words and hidden subjects of the Law made him the Son of God, a title, a relational metaphor, for the only person chosen by God to reveal the hidden meaning wisdom and purpose of God in giving the Law as a light to the nations.
see deuteronomy 18:18
In bible language, small g god is not calling that one God--It means has godlike qualities. Satan is called-Plain Theos at 2 Cor 4:4= god small g, because the true God is called HoTheos=The God in the same paragraph. It works the same at John 1:1-God called Ho Theos, the word called plain Theos=a god. It called neither satan or the word-The God. Trinity scholars know its fact.
