Elon Musk, the tech mogul known for his ambitions that reach beyond mere Earthly boundaries, is no stranger to controversy, especially among the left. His recent collaboration with President Donald Trump’s policies has stirred up quite the hornet’s nest, sending liberals into a tailspin for months. Apparently, aligning with the former president is the one modern sin that can spark a nationwide conniption fit, and Musk appears to be Public Enemy Number One.
The situation reached new heights when New Jersey Senator Andy Kim toyed with the idea of shutting down the government, primarily as a tantrum against both Trump and Musk. Though his threats come off like a toddler refusing broccoli, it showcases just how far the left will go to express their frustrations. As if that wasn’t enough, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders decided to add his two cents, probably after having a caffeine-fueled meltdown during an interview. If there were a prize for most theatrical outrage, these Democrats would take home the trophy.
But it’s not just Democrats in the United States blowing a gasket over Musk’s pro-Trump stance. Reports have surfaced indicating that a petition is underway in Canada to annul his citizenship. Yes, that’s right—200,000 people are calling for Canada to kick Musk to the curb. Perhaps they think they can appease their own bleeding hearts by eliminating a successful entrepreneur who just happens to have some connection to a former president they despise. It’s quite the international scandal, fueled by nothing more than ideological spite.
There’s a Petition Underway in One Country to Revoke Elon Musk’s Citizenshiphttps://t.co/tWqrkyiPnb

The petition, carefully orchestrated by Qualia Reed from Nanaimo, British Columbia, is making its way through Canada’s House of Commons. Even liberal MP Charlie Angus couldn’t resist the temptation to hop aboard this bandwagon of absurdity, bolstering the petition that has gained momentum by amassing over 34,000 signatures in a matter of days. The audacity of asking Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to cancel Musk’s citizenship shows just how seriously some leftists treat their political gripes—they seem to think that global citizenship works like a fast-food order that can simply be returned.
For those who might need a little context, Musk wasn’t born with a Canadian passport in hand; he hails from South Africa. His Canadian citizenship comes courtesy of his mother, who proudly claims Regina, Saskatchewan as her birthplace. Canada has had its share of friction with the U.S., particularly during Trump’s administration, when increased tariffs were implemented as a standing response to Canada’s role in the border crisis. Musk’s alignment with Trump is simply throwing gasoline on a fire that was already burning, and now all they need to complete the drama is a splash of international intrigue and a Canadian prime minister willing to entertain such ludicrous petitions. If only it were as simple as a trade deal—maybe Canada could incorporate a new clause allowing them to deport outspoken tech billionaires.
