More than 200,000 Canadians have signed a parliamentary petition demanding that Elon Musk be stripped of his citizenship over his ties to Donald Trump's administration and its repeated threats against the country's sovereignty.
Canadian activist Qualia Reed launched a petition in Canada's House of Commons, accusing Musk of working against the country's national interests by advising Trump, The Guardian reported.
The petition, which has been endorsed by New Democrat MP Charlie Angus, argues that Musk's alignment with Trump makes him a member of a foreign government seeking to undermine "Canadian sovereignty" after Trump repeatedly joked about making the country the US' 51st state.
The petition quickly gained momentum, surpassing 237,000 signatures, far exceeding the 500-signature threshold needed for parliamentary consideration.
Under Canadian law, citizenship can be revoked in cases of fraud, misrepresentation or other legal violations, though there is no precedent for revocation based on political alignment.
As Canada's House of Commons prepares to resume on March 24, the petition is set to become a major political flashpoint. Reed's petition has a signing period expiry date of June 20.
