Petition to Revoke Elon Musk's Canadian Citizenship Gains Over 280,000 Signatures
Canadians accuse Musk of undermining national sovereignty through his role in the Trump administration and call for government action.
- A parliamentary petition initiated on February 20 has gathered over 280,000 signatures calling for the revocation of Elon Musk's Canadian citizenship.
- The petition accuses Musk of working against Canada's national interest and supporting U.S. President Donald Trump's efforts to undermine Canadian sovereignty.
- Musk, who holds Canadian citizenship through his mother, dismissed the petition on his social media platform X, claiming 'Canada is not a real country.'
- The petition highlights Musk's role in Trump's administration, where he leads the Department of Government Efficiency, and his public endorsement of controversial policies impacting U.S.-Canada relations.
- Under Canadian law, citizenship revocation is limited to cases of fraud or misrepresentation, making the likelihood of action against Musk uncertain despite public outcry.
