In Short

  • Elon Musk predicts Justin Trudeau's election loss
  • Justin Trudeau to face Pierre Poilievre and Jagmeet Singh in upcoming polls
  • Elon Musk earlier slams Canada's free speech regulations

Elon Musk, one of the world's richest person and tech giants, on Thursday predicted that Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau would lose his position in the upcoming elections.

"He will be gone in the upcoming election," Musk tweeted while responding to a user's request for help in ousting the incumbent Canadian PM from his post.


Thhttp://e comes as Trudeau gears up to face Pierre Poilievre's Conservative Party and Jagmeet Singh's New Democratic Party in the upcoming elections.

Musk, a key figure behind Donald Trump's victory in US polls, had previously voiced criticism of the Canadian government's approach to free speech, especially in reference to the new regulations mandating online streaming services to register for government oversight.

With Donald Trump returning to the White House next year, Trudeau's administration is preparing to face additional challenges. As Canada's economy relies heavily on the United States, Trump's proposed policies will have a significant impact on bilateral ties. Canada directs 75 percent of its exports to the US.

The proposed 10 percent tariff on all imports by Donald Trump has raised concerns among Canadian economic experts, including government officials, asserting the vulnerability of the North American country to shifts in US policies.

Apart from the economy, the fragile relationship between Trudeau and Trump could add stress points to US-Canada bilateral ties. In September, Trump, in his 'Save America' photobook, wrote that Trudeau’s mother was “somehow associated” with the late Cuban dictator Fidel Castro. To this end, the Canadian government rejected the allegations and said that Trudeau’s parents never visited Cuba until several years after Justin was born.

Additionally, the bilateral ties between India and Canada have plunged significantly, as Ottawa has consistently dismissed New Delhi’s calls for strict measures against Khalistani extremists in Canada. Instead, Canada has accused India of targeting Khalistani individuals within its borders, escalating a diplomatic standoff.
