Elon Musk Mocks Trudeau Over Canada-US Merger Idea, Says "Girl, You're..."As Trump prepares to take office, his plans to use "economic force" to bring Canada into the US are likely to face significant opposition from lawmakers, law enforcement officials, and the public.
Billionaire Elon Musk has sparked controversy with a post aimed at former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. On Wednesday, Musk responded to Trudeau's statement rejecting a Canada-US merger, saying, "Girl, you're not the governor of Canada anymore, so it doesn't matter what you say." Musk's comment was in response to Trudeau's assertion that "There isn't a snowball's chance in hell that Canada would become part of the United States. Workers and communities in both our countries benefit from being each other's biggest trading and security partner."
The exchange comes amid a heated debate over US President-elect Donald Trump's suggestion that he will use "economic force" to make Canada the 51st US state. Trump has been floating this idea since his electoral victory, claiming that "Many people in Canada LOVE being the 51st State" and that the US can no longer afford the "massive Trade Deficits and Subsidies" that Canada needs to stay afloat, hence Trudeau resigned.
