Wed Feb 26 04:42:14 UTC 2025: ## 250,000 Sign Petition to Strip Elon Musk of Canadian Citizenship
**Ottawa, Canada –** A petition calling for the revocation of Elon Musk’s Canadian citizenship has garnered over 250,000 signatures, fueled by accusations that the tech billionaire is undermining Canada’s sovereignty. The petition, launched on February 20th, 2025, alleges Musk, who holds both Canadian and US citizenship, is actively working against Canada’s national interests by supporting US President Donald Trump’s repeated attempts to question and diminish Canadian sovereignty.
Musk, who acquired Canadian citizenship through his mother, further ignited the controversy with a now-deleted social media post mocking Canada as “not a real country.” This followed Trump’s renewed suggestion that Canada should become the 51st US state.
Canadian MP Charlie Angus, who initiated the petition, stated that the overwhelming support reflects public anger at the influence of powerful individuals who threaten national interests. He labeled Musk and similar figures as “enemies of our country.”
While the petition, currently holding over a quarter of a million signatures, doesn’t automatically force government action, it may prompt an official response. The Canadian government’s criteria for revoking citizenship include fraud during immigration applications and serving in a foreign army against Canada. The petition’s impact remains to be seen, as Parliament is currently suspended until March 24th, 2025.
