Summary

A Canadian parliamentary petition to revoke Elon Musk’s citizenship has gathered over 150,000 signatures.

Launched by author Qualia Reed and sponsored by MP Charlie Angus, the petition accuses Musk of undermining Canada’s sovereignty due to his ties to Trump, who has repeatedly suggested annexing Canada.

Musk is a Canadian citizen through his mother. The petition will be presented to the House of Commons, which resumes on March 24.

    While I don’t think it’s possible to revoke his citizenship it might be possible to try him for treason against ‘his’ country.

      Why do a lot of you do this nonsense. You’re swinging for the fences and play right into the hands of the right when you put all your effort into comments like “he can be tried for treason” just swing lower and stop the dramatics. He can be tried for being a piece of shit. He can be tried for all the hormone therapy he’s done. He can be tried for being a billionaire and still banging only 4s

      There is precedent to revoke his citizenship.

      In the 1980s, there was another extremist who used his international media platform to spew hate and disinformation. His name was Ernst Zundel. He continually laughed at Canada’s laws against hate speech. He was ultimately jailed and then deported from our country.
