Summary
A Canadian parliamentary petition to revoke Elon Musk’s citizenship has gathered over 150,000 signatures.
Launched by author Qualia Reed and sponsored by MP Charlie Angus, the petition accuses Musk of undermining Canada’s sovereignty due to his ties to Trump, who has repeatedly suggested annexing Canada.
Musk is a Canadian citizen through his mother. The petition will be presented to the House of Commons, which resumes on March 24.
I dont like musk, but revoking citizenship is a slippery slope that we should not go down. It will become political very quickly where if the government doesn’t like someone because they don’t agree with them then they have that avenue.
Musk is terrible but this move doesn’t do much against him and it only hurts the future for others.
I see your point but a government not liking someone vs a government protecting themselves against a credible threat are different things. Musk has shown that he has the ability to severely damage democratic systems, what other regular citizen has that kind of power?
Yeah but the government is known for abusing their power. They could just as easily use this against someone who becomes the leader of a civil rights organizations whose organizing people and protesting or striking for workers. They’ll just claim they’re dangerous and strip them of citizenship.

Why is this downvoted? This is a valid argument. Revoking citizenship because we don’t like them? Seriously? Either this whole thing is a joke and I don’t get it or we have some 150k nationalistic anti-democracy radicals signing this.
