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.

    In like the 1940s Elon Musk’s grandfather was a chiropractor in Regina, Saskatchewan and was arrested by the RCMP for being a central figure in an organization that was trying to overthrow the government and install a technocracy. I’m not kidding.

    After that is when he fucked off to South Africa to partake in the Apartheid.

          Is there a way to get a source for behind the bastards without ads? Like some podcasts let you pay a subscription and you get access to an ad free version

            Here’s a summary of our findings: We located reporting from as far back as 2009 and 2014 that said when Elon Musk (“Elon” hereafter) was a child in South Africa in the 1980s, his father (“Errol” hereafter) at some point owned “a stake in an emerald mine” near Lake Tanganyika in Zambia, not South Africa. Beyond that, we were unable to find any evidence that showed money generated from his father’s involvement in the mine helped Elon build his wealth in North America.

            I once owned a share of Microsoft, therefore I owe any success to that.

          Supervisor: Hey, um, I think you forgot to include sources in your thesis?

          Grad student: You can also look up a source. It’s real easy these days, with the little supercomputers in all our pockets.

          Some people like to converse with others, we’re not all robots.

            That’s how I feel every time someone makes that stupid remark… if I didn’t want to interact with people, I wouldn’t be online, duh. I especially love being able to ask questions in real-time and verify the answers when it’s important to me.

              For me, it’s not even about the interaction. “Do your own research” is conspiracy ideologists language for “trust me brah” and we should be better than that. Whatever they claim may simply not be true and “look it up yourself” is just a means to waste everybody’s time because there isn’t anything to look up. Not to mention, whoever made the claim should already have at least an idea where they got the claim so why send everybody on a wild goose chase when they can simply link to it?

                I almost always include links, but not always when it’s something I’ve already linked to dozens of times. In that case, I figure if people are interested enough, they’ll want to do their own research… and if they’re not, then I’m not gonna continue wasting my time just because someone wants to argue again.

              Condescending, then gets upset for being called out for it; then doubles down, instead of recognizing the problem is, in fact, being condescending. Which, to recap, you began and then continued.

              Bravo, bravo slow clap. I almost feel like I should expect a shrill cry to speak to the manager or something.

              Lol. If you consider what they said an insult, what you said is certainly one by your own standards. Maybe don’t be shitty to people for no reason if you’re concerned about such things.
