In the U.S., a few hundred million can sway an election and let Musk evade billions in taxes, not to mention granting him a direct channel to elected officials, as he has with the Trump administration.

This is why money needs to be kept out of politics. Canada has contribution and campaign spending limits that have accomplished a lot towards that end. However, there are still PAC's and other avenues for money to influence Canadian politics. Money never stops looking for a path to power, and vice-versa, so we must be vigilant and willing to continually evolve our laws to keep people like Musk on the outside looking in. We should be following all the money spent in Quebec's election to see how much can be traced to foreign influence, just as we need to follow all the money that's gone into the separatist camp in Alberta.

It's our country, not his, and it's not for sale.

P.S. Somebody should ask him what he thinks of California, Michigan, or Texas separating from the U.S.. Maybe that would be good for his predatory schemes?

When you're plugged into the top level of another country's administration parroting the same lines as its President, yes, it's meddling.

If we grant Musk the status of Canadian citizen, then it must only be as a traitorous one.
