“Daughter, you are no longer the governor of Canada, so it doesn’t matter what you say,” Elon Musk wrote in a comment to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s post. The billionaire repeated the story of Donald Trump, who already called the prime minister “governor” and wrote about Canada itself as “the 51st state of the USA”. Trudeau resigned as prime minister a few days ago, but will remain in office until a new one is appointed.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau tweeted on Tuesday: “There is not even the slightest chance that Canada will become part of the US.” “Workers and communities in both our countries benefit from each other’s greatest trade and security partners,” he said.
Billionaire Elon Musk hinted at this position Wednesday in an entry comment.
“Girl, you’re not the governor of Canada anymore, so it doesn’t matter what you say,” wrote the Tesla CEO, who, according to Trump’s announcement, will lead the new Department of Government Efficiency in the next US administration.
Musk called Trudeau a “governor,” a term that Donald Trump recently used against the prime minister on social media.
Trudeau’s message on Tuesday was a response to Trump’s remarks after he won the November 2024 election, calling Canada the “51st country” and mentioning his desire to unite the countries. He also accused Canada of exploiting the United States economically and politically.

Trump is escalating the narrative against Canada
Trump, who previously announced 25 percent tariffs on Canadian goods, said Tuesday that the U.S. does not need Canadian auto imports, as well as lumber and dairy products. According to US data, in 2022, Canada sold goods worth 614.3 billion Canadian dollars in the United States, and the United States is also the largest recipient of Canadian oil.

Trudeau and his ministers, who met with Trump and his advisers after the US election, pointed to the import of data to help the president-elect understand the extent of America’s dependence on trade with Canada. Canadian Foreign Minister Melanie Joly wrote on Tuesday that President-elect Trump’s comments “completely lack understanding of what makes Canada a strong country.” He added: “Our economy is strong. Our nation is strong. We will never back down in the face of threats.”
