The decision by the Canadian prime minister, Justin Trudeau, this week to resign as head of the Liberal party has set in motion a leadership race against the backdrop of a looming general election, which will be held amid political turmoil triggered by Donald Trump’s “America first” economic nationalism. It has also given Tesla’s CEO, Elon Musk, an opportunity to inject himself into yet another country’s political turmoil.
Since Trudeau’s resignation on Monday, Musk has posted repeatedly about Canadian politics on X – the platform formerly known as Twitter he bought in 2022 for $44bn. He has praised clips of Pierre Poilievre, the leader of Canada’s Conservative party, while relishing in Trudeau’s downfall and engaging with rightwing Canadian influencers.
“Girl, you’re not the governor (sic) of Canada anymore, so doesn’t matter what you say,” Musk tweeted in response in the middle of the night on Tuesday.
Force him to pay his fair share of taxes ( not a tiny amount but a fair amount proportional to what he has extracted from the Canadian economy)
If he refuses Invalidate all patents this Muppet’s companies previously enjoyed within Canada
Let competition flood in with copy cat rockets cars twitter and hell pay pal clones
At this point, simply making Musk pay his fair share in taxes is not enough in my opinion. The damage that he has done to this planet is immeasurable.
Also since he’s Canadian then should his right wing pro nazi comments cross the line, charge him for hate speech under Canadian laws
