Tesla owners who get out of the highway to charge, can just get the reproach one ‘Swasticar’ to possess. In order not to be associated with Tesla director Elon Musk, some drivers nowadays stick one I Bought this Before Elon Went Crazy-sticker on the tailgate.
In the meantime, 167,000 Canadians have also been caught by ‘Musk-Shame’, because they have the same passport as the richest man in the world. A sticker is not sufficient for them. They signed a petition that argued to take Musks Canadian citizenship because he would try to erase Canadian sovereignty.
Last Thursday, writer launched Qualia rode the petition in the Canadian lower house. He already received support from Member of Parliament and Musk critic Charlie Angus from the New Democrats, reports the Canadian CTV News.
51st American state
Musk, the son of a Canadian mother, who also owns American and South African nationality, has become a political adviser to Donald Trump. The US president repeatedly threatened to incorporate Northern neighboring Canada as the 51st US state. He also announced to introduce import tariffs on Canadian goods, although they were postponed later.
Trump was also ridiculing the Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, whom he called “(American) governor.” Trudeau announced his departure last January after great pressure from his own party. To give the party time for the search for a new prime minister, the parliament will remain closed until 24 March.
Petities must be signed by at least 500 people in Canada in order to be presented to parliament. An official response from the government may follow. On Monday the petition was already signed 167,000 times, while the signing period will only expire on 20 June.
