    He unfortunately got his citizenship at birth. Unless he voluntarily gives it up, can’t keep him out of the country. He can however be barrred from obtaining government contracts.

        It’s still the same thing as birthright citizenship. He has Canadian citizenship because his mother is Canadian.

        An online petition calling on the Canadian government to revoke Elon Musk’s citizenship is on track to become one of the most popular in the history of the House of Commons.

        There’s just one problem — Canada can’t revoke Musk’s citizenship.

        Immigration lawyer Gabriela Ramo says that under Canadian law, someone’s citizenship can only be revoked if it can be proven that they committed fraud or misrepresentation to obtain it.

        “Before they could move to do this, they would need to introduce legislation, there would have to be amendments to the current Citizenship Act,” said Ramo, former chair of the Canadian Bar Association’s immigration section. “There’s no provision that would allow them to pursue revocation of citizenship of a Canadian birth, by virtue of his birth to a Canadian mother.

          I have no idea. I don’t look at who I reply to, just the content.

          I’m not interested in DMing you based on our last interaction, now that I can see who you are. Keep me blocked, or don’t. It’s not like I’m targeting you
