Billionaire Elon Musk has predicted the downfall of Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in the upcoming Canadian federal election, scheduled to take place on or before October 2025. Musk wrote on X, “He will be gone in the upcoming election,” in response to a user’s plea for assistance in Canada’s removal of Trudeau.
@elonmusk we need your help in Canada getting rid of Trudeau

A Swedish journalist posted an update on the German government on social media, stating, “The German Socialist government has collapsed, and there are now talks about a snap election.” This sparked the social media debate.
In response, Musk, the CEO of the private space firm SpaceX and the electric car manufacturer Tesla, referred to German Chancellor Olaf Scholz as a “fool” following the dissolution of his three-party coalition.
In German, he replied, “Olaf ist ein Narr.” The translation of the sentence is “Olaf is a fool.”
“Elon Musk, we need your help in Canada getting rid of Trudeau.” was a user’s response.
This is not the first time Musk has bashed Mr. Trudeau. Musk had previously accused the Canadian government of “crushing free speech” under Justin Trudeau.
Online streaming services were required to formally register with the Canadian government for “regulatory controls” last year. “Trudeau is trying to crush free speech in Canada,” Musk wrote, calling it “shameful.”
Trudeau is trying to crush free speech in Canada. Shameful. https://t.co/oHFFvyBGxu

Prior to this, Musk compared Mr. Trudeau to Adolf Hitler in February 2022 when he used emergency powers for the first time in the nation’s history to give his government more authority to deal with truckers who were opposing the vaccine mandates at the time.
Musk shared a meme of a picture of Hitler with the words “Stop comparing me to Justin Trudeau” above his head and “I had a budget” below it in response to a social media post detailing how Trudeau’s administration had instructed banks to assist in reducing funding to the demonstrators.
The post was later removed.
The verbal battle goes on.
