Elon Musk takes a dig at former Canadian PM Justin Trudeau: 'Girl, you're not...'

Elon Musk doesn¡¯t just run billion-dollar companies; he¡¯s also the reigning champ of online comebacks. In his latest mic-drop moment, Musk fired a witty shot at former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, leaving the internet buzzing. It all began when Trudeau shut down the idea of Canada merging with the US, declaring there¡¯s ¡°no chance in hell¡± it would ever happen. But Musk¡¯s cheeky response stole the spotlight.

¡°Girl, you¡¯re not the governor of Canada anymore, so it doesn¡¯t matter what you say,¡± Musk posted on X, making it clear he wasn¡¯t buying Trudeau¡¯s assertion. And just like that, the billionaire added a dash of drama to an already heated debate.

US President-elect Donald Trump¡¯s proposal to turn Canada into the 51st state

The exchange comes amidst fiery discussions over US President-elect Donald Trump¡¯s bold (and highly questionable) proposal to turn Canada into the 51st state. Trump has been stirring the pot, claiming many Canadians secretly adore the idea. To make things spicier, he even shared a meme-worthy map showing Canada absorbed into the US with the caption ¡°Oh Canada!¡±

Trudeau wasn¡¯t having it, insisting that the current US-Canada trade partnership is mutually beneficial. But Musk¡¯s ¡°girl¡± moment made everyone forget the politics for a hot second and focus on the sheer audacity of his clapback.

Musk didn¡¯t stop there. When Canadian MP Pierre Poilievre passionately declared on X that Canada would ¡°never¡± be the 51st state, Musk chimed in with another zinger. He hinted at a referendum, calling it the ¡°essence of democracy.¡± Subtle shade? Maybe. Peak Musk? Definitely.

What is Donald Trump¡¯s plan?

Meanwhile, Trump¡¯s plans to use ¡°economic force¡± to strong-arm Canada into joining the US have sparked outrage north of the border. Lawmakers, officials, and everyday Canadians aren¡¯t exactly thrilled with his over-the-top vision.

As tensions rise, Musk¡¯s playful sass has become the internet¡¯s favorite distraction. Whether you¡¯re team Trudeau, team Trump, or just here for the drama, one thing¡¯s clear: Musk knows how to turn politics into a viral moment.
