  1. More than 230,000 Canadians have signed a [petition](https://www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en/Petition/Details?Petition=e-5353) asking the country’s prime minister to revoke Elon Musk’s citizenship and passport, accusing the tech billionaire and Trump ally of joining a “foreign government that is attempting to erase Canadian sovereignty” and engaging in “activities that go against the national interest of Canada.”

    Musk, who was born in South Africa and holds Canadian and U.S. citizenship, is playing a particularly prominent role in the second Trump administration. He [oversees](https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2025/02/24/doge-fast-cuts-federal-workers-programs-elon-musk/) the U.S. DOGE Service — which has fired thousands of government employees in recent weeks as it looks to cut spending — and has continued to support President Donald Trump as he calls for [Canada to become the 51st state](https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/12/28/trump-canada-greenland-panama-canal/) and [pushes for](https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2025/02/24/trump-tariffs-macron-canada-mexicoreciprocal/837b4292-f2f7-11ef-acb5-08900d482a27_story.html) high tariffs on the United States’ northern neighbor.

    Responding to the petition, Musk [wrote](https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1894207733693649193) on social media, “Canada is not a real country.”

    As Musk seeks [global political influence](https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/01/04/elon-musk-uk-germany-canada-far-right/), he has repeatedly criticized Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s [policies](https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1708583842905211225) and mocked the Canadian leader, while [endorsing ](https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1869260397481775373?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1869260397481775373%7Ctwgr%5E7562571cbc12f01c80526564c37db4c7d1e29609%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fnationalpost.com%2Fnews%2Fcanada%2Fmusk-reacts-trudeau-resignation)[clips](https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1876503555739415034) of Pierre Poilievre, the head of Canada’s Conservative Party.

  2. Also being charged with a foot fetish using an orange coloured minor

  3. I can understand the reasoning behind Canada not wanting this fuck goof any more. But, from a legal standpoint how easy/difficult is this to accomplish? Unless you can prove that the person lied on a form or during the citizenship interview, or was involved in something nefarious. It’s not that simple to just rollback on citizenship no matter how much you hate the person because that would set a horrible precedent.

  4. Yeah they need to do it. Charge him with treason as well

  5. Can we deport him from the US? Can we at least depose him? The guy is a festering drain on society.

  6. Musk and what he’s doing is an American problem and they need to deal with him. Taking his citizenship away won’t change anything. This is just a distraction for us. We need to focus on actual things we can fix, like national defence and diversifying our trade.

  7. I’m not Canadian but I wish I could sign this petition as well.

  8. NDP member Charlie Angus has several good petitions going right now: Remove Musk Citizenship, force the government to stop using X for official communications, ban X from operating in Canada, and refuse Donald J. Trump entry to Canada. Sign them all

    [https://www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en/Petition/Search?type=&keyword=&sponsor=&RPP=20&order=Recent&Page=1&category=Open&text=charlie+angus](https://www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en/Petition/Search?type=&keyword=&sponsor=&RPP=20&order=Recent&Page=1&category=Open&text=charlie+angus)

  10. Why does he has 3 Citizenships? South African, US and as well Canadian?. The US he got undef false presence, this one should be revoked as well.

  11. Canadians should just make a law that citizens worth more than $10 billion have to pay 10 percent of networth globally as tax even if not living in Canada. At the same time make it take 2 years to renounce citizenship.

  12. Musk wrote on social media “Canada is not a real country.” yet he holds a passport of this “not real country” wtf strange logic

  13. As a Canadian, I would rather have the tax code changed in Canada requiring Canadian Citizens making billions of dollars abroad to pay taxes on any foreign income/assets. Put the pressure where it will hurt most!

  15. Instead of this weird behaviour, why don’t we demand cancelation of Starlink and a boycott on Teslas?

    Technocratic dictators south of the border–who explicitly threaten our sovereignty–should not have any control over our telecoms or infrastructure, especially when said technocratic dictator is a full-blown Nazi.

  16. 230,001 are calling for Musk to have his citizenship revoked

  17. Instead of revoking his citizenship, they should issue an order to arrest on grounds of treason. From Wikipedia (Treason, Canadian laws, bold italic emphasis mine):

    >High treason
    (1) Every one commits high treason who, in Canada,

    (a) kills or attempts to kill His Majesty, or does him any bodily harm tending to death or destruction, maims or wounds him, or imprisons or restrains him;
    (b) levies war against Canada or ***does any act preparatory thereto***; or
    (c) assists an enemy at war with Canada, or any armed forces against whom Canadian Forces are engaged in hostilities, whether or not a state of war exists between Canada and the country whose forces they are.

    Treason
    (2) Every one commits treason who, in Canada,

    (a) uses force or violence for the purpose of overthrowing the government of Canada or a province;
    (b) without lawful authority, communicates or makes available to an agent of a state other than Canada, military or scientific information or any sketch, plan, model, article, note or document of a military or scientific character that he knows or ought to know may be used by that state for a purpose prejudicial to the safety or defence of Canada;
    (c) ***conspires with any person to commit high treason or to do anything mentioned in paragraph (a)***;
    (d) ***forms an intention to do anything that is high treason or that is mentioned in paragraph (a) and manifests that intention by an overt act***; or
    (e) conspires with any person to do anything mentioned in paragraph (b) or forms an intention to do anything mentioned in paragraph (b) and manifests that intention by an overt act.

    Didn’t I just read somewhere that he had called Canada “not a real country”? That neonazi should spend the rest of his life in a prison cell, preferably ice cold and dark.

  18. Or, can’t we extradite him and charge him with treason?

  19. I hope it happens. Go back to your country and do your destruction there. We don’t want him here either

  20. Wish he’d lose US citizenship too… send him back to South Africa

  22. Musk apparently takes fashion advice directly from every military E3 still living in the barracks.

  23. Can we revoke his US citizenship next? Deport him back to South Africa.
