Billionaire Elon Musk has sparked controversy with a post aimed at former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. On Wednesday, Musk responded to Trudeau’s statement rejecting Canada-US merger, saying, “Girl, you’re not the governor of Canada anymore, so it doesn’t matter what you say.” Musk’s comments were in response to Trudeau’s claim that “There is no possibility that Canada will become part of the United States. Workers and communities in both our countries will benefit from being each other’s largest trade and security partner.” There is benefit.”
The exchange came amid a heated debate over US President-elect Donald Trump’s suggestion that he would use “economic muscle” to make Canada the 51st US state. Trump has been mulling over the idea since his election victory, claiming that “many people in Canada would love to become the 51st state” and that the US can no longer afford the “huge trade deficits and subsidies” that come with it. Canada needed to survive, so Trudeau resigned. ,
Trump’s comments have been widely criticized by Canadian leaders, including Trudeau, who emphasized the benefits of the US-Canada relationship. Trudeau said that “workers and communities in both our countries benefit from being each other’s largest trading and security partner.”
The controversy was sparked by Trump’s sharing on social media of a distorted map showing Canada as part of the United States, with the caption “Oh Canada!” The move has raised concerns about the future of US-Canada relations and the potential effects of Trump’s proposals.
Recently, Musk also responded to MP Pierre Poilievre’s post on X regarding Canada’s sovereignty. Poilievre had posted, “Canada will never be the 51st state. Period. We are a great and free country. We are best friends in America. We agreed to help Americans respond to al-Qaeda on 9/11.” It cost billions of dollars and hundreds of lives.” Attacks. We supply America with billions of dollars of high quality and completely reliable energy, at well below market prices. “We buy hundreds of billions of dollars worth of American goods.”
“Our weak and pathetic NDP-Liberal government has failed to make these clear points. I will fight for Canada. When I am Prime Minister, we will rebuild our military and border controls to secure both Canada and the U.S. We will take back control of our Arctic to keep Russia and China out. We will slash taxes, cut red tape and rapidly greenlight large-scale resource projects to bring domestic payments and production to our country. In other words, we will put Canada first.”
Musk responded to the post, saying, “The people’s referendum is the essence of democracy!”
As Trump prepares to take office, his plan to use “economic force” to bring Canada into the U.S. may face significant opposition from lawmakers, law enforcement officials and the public. The situation remains extremely controversial, Musk’s tweet has added fuel to the fire.
