Petition Calls for Revocation of Elon Musk's Canadian Citizenship Amid Rising Tensions

Over 250,000 Canadians have signed a petition pushing to revoke Elon Musk's Canadian citizenship, claiming he compromises the country's sovereignty and political integrity.

Thousands of Canadians have come together to sign a petition aimed at revoking Elon Musk's Canadian citizenship, claiming his actions threaten the nation's sovereignty. The petition, initiated just five days ago, has gained the support of more than 250,000 signatories and is open until June 20. It alleges that Musk, who holds dual Canadian and US citizenship, has used his influence over elections and now operates within a foreign government that poses a threat to Canada.

Musk, who moved to Canada at the age of 18 and has Canadian citizenship through his mother, made headlines recently by dismissing Canada as "not a real country" in a now-deleted post on social media platform X. Although Canadian law states that citizenship can only be revoked for reasons such as fraud or misrepresentation, the growing petition raises awareness about Musk's influence and potential legal ramifications.

The petition's creator is a British Columbia author, supported by MP Charlie Angus of the New Democratic Party, who has decided not to run for re-election. Despite the petition's symbolic nature, it is likely to prompt some government response, especially if it maintains support leading up to a potential parliamentary election.

The heightened tensions between the Trump administration and Canada have fueled public sentiment against international influences, with many Canadian citizens choosing to boycott US products and dismiss American-related events. As public call for change grows, the landscape of US-Canada relations remains heated, with Musk's actions at the forefront of this emerging civil advocacy.

Elon Musk's past immigration status is also under scrutiny, with some claiming he worked illegally in the US on a student visa. Musk has denied these allegations and became a naturalized US citizen in 2002. As this petition unfolds, it is yet to be seen how it will affect both Musk’s citizenship status and the dynamics of cross-border relations.
