Elon Musk’s daughter, Vivian Jenna Wilson, has expressed stronger patriotism for Canada. Her reaction comes after US President Donald Trump suggested making Canada the “51st state.” Meanwhile, a petition demanding Musk’s Canadian citizenship revocation is rapidly gaining support.
Vivian, daughter of Musk and Canadian author Justine Wilson, shared her thoughts on Threads last week. She wrote, “I’m ngl this Canadian ’51st state’ st has upped my Canadian patriotism by about 5000000%.”**
Shortly after, she responded to a query about her nationality. She stated, “‘Are you Canadian’ yes. My mom is from there, my mom’s parents are from there, their parents are from there, etc. I am literally a Canadian citizen, argue w the national government idk💀”
Petition Calls for Musk’s Canadian Citizenship Revocation
At the same time, a growing petition urges the Canadian government to revoke Musk’s citizenship. So far, over 250,000 Canadians have signed it. Supporters argue that Musk threatens Canada’s national interest and sovereignty.
Moreover, the petition links Musk to Trump, who recently imposed a 25% tariff on Canadian imports. Trump’s controversial suggestion to annex Canada has intensified concerns. The petition claims Musk is using his wealth and influence to interfere in Canadian politics. It further states, “He has now become a member of a foreign government that is attempting to erase Canadian sovereignty.”
Musk’s Response and Background
In response, Musk posted a provocative statement on X (formerly Twitter), writing, “Canada is not a real country.” However, he later deleted the post without explanation. Given his history of controversial remarks, many wonder why he decided to remove it.
Looking back, Musk was born in Pretoria, South Africa. He became a Canadian citizen as a teenager through his mother, Maye Musk, who was born in Canada. Eventually, he moved to the U.S. on a student visa and later obtained American citizenship.
