Launched by British Columbia author Qualia Reed and backed by NDP MP Charlie Angus, the petition claims Musk\u2019s political ties jeopardize Canada\u2019s sovereignty amid Trump\u2019s history of inflammatory remarks toward the nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The initiative, reported by&nbsp;<em>The Canadian Press<\/em>, accuses Musk of undermining Canadian interests through his involvement with Trump\u2019s administration. Critics highlight Trump\u2019s past threats to Canada\u2019s autonomy, including trade disputes and territorial claims, arguing that Musk\u2019s proximity to the ex-president poses a strategic risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While revocation of citizenship remains rare, the petition underscores rising public unease. Musk, born in South Africa, gained Canadian citizenship through his mother before moving to the U.S. The document cites a 2025 Oval Office meeting (pictured) as emblematic of Musk\u2019s entrenched ties to Trump\u2019s political circle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Legal experts debate the petition\u2019s feasibility, as Canadian law typically revokes citizenship only for fraud or voluntary relinquishment. However, the campaign reflects broader tensions over foreign influence and the role of high-profile figures in global politics. Authorities have yet to formally respond.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Canadian parliamentary petition demanding the revocation of Elon Musk\u2019s citizenship has crossed 150,000 signatures, fueled by concerns over his advisory role to former U.S. President Donald Trump.
