Elon Musk has told Justin Trudeau he “doesn’t matter” after the outgoing Canadian prime minister dismissed Donald Trump ’s plan for the U.S. to take over its northern neighbor. The key adviser to the president-elect jabbed Trudeau on his X social media platform (formerly Twitter) after the prime minister announced Monday he is to resign.

The comments were responding to President-elect Donald Trump's ongoing suggestions that Canada should become the 51st U.S. state.

Departing Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau once cultivated the image of an “anti-Trump.” The luster of that brand has long faded.

Trump also also insisted he wants to rename the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum fired back, telling Trump that Texas and California should revert to their former name: America Mexicana. Dick Vitale has gone through numerous cancer battles in recent years.

Canada recorded a ninth consecutive monthly trade deficit in November, albeit smaller than expected, as exports rose faster than imports, and its trade surplus with the United States widened, data showed on Tuesday.

Trudeau leaves his country in peril, which means Canadians are not in the mood to celebrate his accomplishments as Prime Minister. He did do some things, though.

The race to be Canada’s next prime minister is still at the starting line and Donald Trump has already cast a shadow over it.

U.S. crude oil imports from Canada rose last week to the highest on record, data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) showed on Wednesday, ahead of incoming U.S. president Donald Trump's plans to levy a 25% tariff on Canadian imports.

American billionaire Elon Musk has insulted Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in a post on X (Twitter) after Trudeau ruled out Canada becoming part of the United States, which has been a recurring theme in President-elect Donald Trump's remarks lately.
