Elon Musk is no stranger to controversy. The tech billionaire, known for his unfiltered tweets and sharp wit, has once again found himself at the center of a political firestorm. This time, he’s turned his attention to Canada, its Prime Minister, and an audacious idea floated by none other than Donald Trump. Musk’s remarks, as provocative as ever, have sparked debates across social media, the political sphere, and beyond. At the heart of it all lies an unlikely proposition: the idea of Canada becoming the 51st state of the United States. And as the drama unfolds, Musk’s sarcastic commentary has added yet another layer to this already eyebrow-raising story.
It all began with a statement from Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. In a strongly worded declaration, Trudeau dismissed any notion of Canada merging with the United States. “There isn’t a snowball’s chance in hell that Canada will become part of the United States,” Trudeau asserted emphatically. His comment came in response to rumors and remarks from U.S. President-elect Donald Trump, who had reportedly suggested that if Canada couldn’t handle the economic heat of U.S. tariffs, the solution was simple: join the U.S. as its newest state.
Trudeau’s words were intended to project strength and sovereignty, a firm rebuke to Trump’s provocative suggestion. But while his statement aimed to put an end to the conversation, it had the opposite effect. Within hours, the internet erupted with reactions, and none were as cutting—or as viral—as Elon Musk’s.
In a tweet that quickly set social media ablaze, Musk wrote, “Girl, you’re not the governor of Canada anymore, so doesn’t matter what you say.” The billionaire’s choice of words was deliberate, laced with sarcasm and biting humor. By referring to Trudeau as the “governor of Canada,” Musk echoed a jab frequently used by Trump himself. The term implies a lack of sovereignty, suggesting that Canada is less of an independent nation and more of a subordinate entity under U.S. influence. For Trudeau, who prides himself on defending Canada’s autonomy, the comment was as personal as it was political.
Musk’s tweet wasn’t just a response to Trudeau’s statement; it was also a pointed reference to the Prime Minister’s recent announcement that he would step down as leader of Canada’s Liberal Party and, by extension, as Prime Minister. This decision, which came amid plummeting approval ratings and growing political challenges, marked a significant moment in Canadian politics. Musk, never one to miss an opportunity for a jab, used the occasion to question Trudeau’s relevance. To Musk, Trudeau’s strong words about Canada’s independence carried little weight now that his political career was coming to an end.Girl, you’re no longer Governor: Elon Musk trolls Trudeau for rejecting merger call.
