Whoa! Wait. What? Elon Musk Is A Canadian Citizen?

 Most of you probably know that Elon Musk is South African and a naturalized American citizen. But what often gets overlooked is that he is a Canadian citizen as well via his mother. So given his current 'influence' on the Trump Regime, you have to wonder where his actual allegiance lies given that he has NOT given up his Canadian citizenship. 

But it might not be up to him:

More than 200,000 Canadians sign petition to revoke Musk’s citizenship

[More than 200,000 people from Canada have signed a parliamentary petition calling for their country to strip Elon Musk’s Canadian citizenship because of the tech billionaire’s alliance with Donald Trump, who has spent his second US presidency repeatedly threatening to conquer its independent neighbor to the north and turn it into its 51st state.

The British Columbia author Qualia Reed launched the petition in Canada’s House of Commons, where it was sponsored by the New Democrat parliamentary member and avowed Musk critic Charlie Angus, as the Canadian Press first reported over the weekend.

Born in South Africa...Musk has Canadian citizenship through his mother: model and dietitian Maye Musk, who is from Saskatchewan’s capital, Regina. He has been crusading to slash the US federal government’s size at the behest of the US president, who has consistently challenged Canada’s sovereignty since returning to the White House for a second presidential term on 20 January. 

Reed’s petition – filed on 20 February – accuses Musk of having “engaged in activities that go against the national interest of Canada” by acting as an adviser to Trump. The petition asserts that Musk’s alignment with Trump makes him “a member of a foreign government that is attempting to erase Canadian sovereignty”(emphasis mine). It asks the Canadian prime minister, Justin Trudeau, to take away Musk’s Canadian passport and revoke his citizenship with immediate effect.]

OTOH: If Trump and Musk get their way with Canada, Musk would automatically lose his Canadian citizenship anyway since there wouldn't be Canadian citizenship. And wouldn't that make him a traitor to his mother country as well? Well, one of his countries.
