  1. Is the next move for Canada to remove it’s own 100% tariff on China EV imports then? Or is that a bridge too far?

  6. Well done Canada identifying his fraudulent activities should be a major area of focus treat him like the Huawei finance director and also ban him from your country

  7. Once it’s proven that the sales were fraudulent, permanently revoke Tesla’s business license.

  9. Good make sure every penny is legit… if it is pay it… if not fine the hell out of them! Is this the kinda thing DOGE investigates? Lmao

  11. How about because of fraudulent sales? They should ban Teslas outright.

  14. Except for servicing, Tesla should be banned from selling any more EVs that no one will want to buy.

  15. Canada should make it illegal to sell a Fully Autonomous driving package when it clearly isn’t happening

  17. Get em, Canada!

  18. How does he think claiming rebates on 9k units that were moved in one day? This is so easily proven as false? I’m really not sure if he’s that stupid? I don’t know anything anymore. There are records and physical property that can easily say “yeah, no”. Are all these sold units without taking possession of a physical vehicle, all sold to one shell company?

  20. Musk is a literal criminal that portrays himself as a businessman. Discussing. History will remember.

  23. Glad someone is standing up to his fraud and corruption

  24. I’m glad to see that we aren’t letting these oligarchs run away with Canada like they have the states.

  25. I admit it, I’m quite proud to be a Canadian when I see this kind of news and I’m from Québec.

  26. Good. Fuck billionaires making money of tax payers through exploitation of government rebates. Don’t just stop there. Ban Tesla’s.

  28. Billionaire always grabbing taxpayer dollars and looking like they’re not welfare queens. 👸

  30. The White House is collecting international felonies! They already have one from the US, soon one from Canada, and not much longer before Denmark and Panama. Good luck, boys!

  31. Musk fucked the Tesla brand into the ground. there’s absolutely zero amount of PR they can do to help for at least 20 years.

  33. Way to go Ottawa! Ban Tesla. Boycott Tesla. Revoke Musk’s Canadian citizenship. Charge him and send him to prison for fraud regarding fake sales for the rebates.

  34. Hopefully, other countries will also be looking into how tesla has been operating in their countries as well.

  35. And somehow Tesla stonk going up? The cope is getting heavier

  38. Isn’t the punishment for financial fraud something like 14 years in prison? Elon’s a Canadian citizen

  40. How long until Elon’s hair leaks all Giuliani down his face?

  41. I’d say sucks to be a TSLA shareholder but they’re doing just fine.

  43. Well, musk is a Canadian citizen, and we have an extradition treaty, charge him with fraud and ask the Americans to extradite him.  They won’t but it’ll be funny.

  44. Damn so they paid out already 50million to Tesla that’s crazy lol

  46. Imagine living in a country where wealthy people are *actually* held accountable for their actions. Good for you, Canada.
