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.

I would be surprised if this sort of thing was possible and I’m pretty sure it’s not and im pretty sure it’s a good thing that it’s not
In like the 1940s Elon Musk’s grandfather was a chiropractor in Regina, Saskatchewan and was arrested by the RCMP for being a central figure in an organization that was trying to overthrow the government and install a technocracy. I’m not kidding.
After that is when he fucked off to South Africa to partake in the Apartheid.
I realy want to belive this to be true, but I have to ask for a source on this one.
I don’t blame you, because what the fuck lol: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joshua_N._Haldeman
Thanks. And wow… Just… Wow.
There’s a two parter behind the bastards that also goes into this
Is there a way to get a source for behind the bastards without ads? Like some podcasts let you pay a subscription and you get access to an ad free version
You can also look up a source. It’s real easy these days, with the little supercomputers in all our pockets.
Some people like to converse with others, we’re not all robots.
That’s how I feel every time someone makes that stupid remark… if I didn’t want to interact with people, I wouldn’t be online, duh. I especially love being able to ask questions in real-time and verify the answers when it’s important to me.
Well thank you for the insult, I suppose.
Lol. If you consider what they said an insult, what you said is certainly one by your own standards. Maybe don’t be shitty to people for no reason if you’re concerned about such things.
I forgot he had Canadian citizenship, I wonder if any Republicans have enough of a spine to pressure him into relinquishing it.
I’ve been saying that since Elon came out as a lover of orange mushrooms, that Trump will somehow sell him birthright citizenship. But the theory thst the whole annex Canada shit solves that issue is intriguing.
Republicans don’t like Canada. All the speaking French and free healthcare and such.
It’s not free, taxes are what pay for healthcare.
Canadians don’t like speaking French either haha
But we like French speakers because we know they aren’t American
Why?
Managing optics. Like quitting before they have a chance to fire you kind of thing.
How does that help manage optics though?
Will Canada adopt me so I can sign the petition as well?
had no idea he held canadian citizenship.
It’s at 166k now
166k + 1 now
How often do petitions actually affect change? I feel like I see petitions being mentioned a lot, but rarely do I see change as a reult. It feels like they are just another form of “thoughts and prayers”. You feel like you’re contributing something, but a few days go by and the collective amnesia sets in.
How often do petitions actually affect change?
Never. The government lists 3,319 total petitions and the most popular one has 387,487 signatures which is less than 1% of the population. The petition was to call an early election. I would hope the government doesn’t dissolve itself every time less than 1% of people upvote a post.
If anything its just another data mine for the political beliefs of potential dissidents. And before you say anything, yes, I am this much fun at parties as well

It’s the proof that Canada is hiding Nazis, it must be invaded!
In an ironic twist of 2025 that nobody saw coming, all of Putin’s “the bad guys are nazis!” rhetoric is no longer propaganda
Please don’t give us any ideas
I personally know the dudes an immigrant, likely has applied for citizenship in places other then south Africa. He will always be an immigrant. He will never get the stink of not belonging here off him. I do not feel this way about other immigrants.
I figure that at some point you become so rich that you transcend nationality. That sounds complimentary, but I don’t mean it that way.
I mean it makes you an illegal alien wherever you might set foot. Pretoria, Ontario, Silicon Valley, Washington DC, Olympus Mons; GTFO. None of that belongs to you. Not any more. Persona non grata. You’ve taken so much that you owe literally everyone and should not be welcome anywhere.
Elon Musk’s mother is Canadian.
There is no legal precedent for revoking citizenship like this. Why is this any better than Trump’s push to revoke citizenship for immigrants that he doesn’t like? There are better ways to handle this.
Because he is standing alongside Trump trying to make Canada part of the US.
IANAL, but that sounds like Canadian Treason. Revoking citizenship is the nicer way to handle it. That’s a hangin’ down here.
From up here, it looks like treason is rewarded with the highest office and immunity from all consequence 🧐
And Trump would likely claim that the immigrants whose birthright citizenship he wants to revoke are “invading” the US.
I’m not saying that Elon Musk isn’t awful. I’m saying that revoking his citizenship isn’t the right way to deal with that. It’s not even legal to do so it’s a moot question to begin with.
We can’t simply disavow Canadian citizens like that. If a Canadian citizen does something awful then we should do something about it. Put out a warrant for whatever it is he’s up to. If you think he’s a traitor, check the laws on treason and see if he qualifies for an actual charge.
That’s a hangin’ down here.
Canada does not have the death penalty.
Lol. “Use the laws against him!” Good idea 🙄 Its not like money buys politicians and judges and freedom in basically any place on earth when you have that much of it /s
Btw I don’t know anyone who refers to Canada as “down here”. Pretty sure they mean the US.
Lol. “Use the laws against him!” Good idea 🙄
What, you’re suggesting an “extrajudicial” revoking of his citizenship, then? How would that work? Why is that remotely a good idea? A government that ignores laws and just does whatever comes to mind is exactly the problem here.
Btw I don’t know anyone who refers to Canada as “down here”. Pretty sure they mean the US.
Yes, obviously. I’m pointing out a significant difference between the two countries.
As a Canadian, I love it.
