In a demonstration of his intellectual acuity and sharp humour, Elon Musk recently posted a comment that caused a stir on social media. In response to a statement by Canada’s resigning Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, who was adamant that Canada would never become the 51st state of the United States, Musk responded with remarkable elegance: ''Girl, you’re not the governor of Canada anymore, so doesn’t matter what you say.''
This comment, although brief, is full of meaning. By using the term "Girl" Musk is not just making fun of Trudeau; he is subtly criticizing the wokism that permeates left-wing and far-left politics in Canada. This "Girl" is a direct reference to Trudeau’s acceptance and promotion of multiple gender identities, which some say go against biological reality and tradition.
Elon Musk, known for his forthrightness and pragmatic approach, highlighted the irony of the situation: a political leader who advocates progressive gender policies while on the verge of leaving his position. This irony is amplified by the fact that the World Health Organization (WHO) once classified transsexuality as a mental illness in its international classification of diseases, before withdrawing it in 2019. This change reflects a discussed evolution, and Musk, with his comment, questions this uncritical acceptance.
Musk’s elegance lies in his ability to distill complex criticism into a simple but powerful word. It highlights not only the perceived absurdity of some identity policies but also the ineffectiveness of Trudeau’s rhetoric in the face of imminent political reality. Indeed, after the announcement of his resignation, Trudeau’s remarks on Canadian independence seem to lose their symbolic and political weight.
This is not the first time that Musk has used social media to express opinions that are outside of the mainstream of politically correct discourse. His ability to stimulate debate and reflect on taboo or controversial topics makes him not only an innovator in the field of technology but also an influential actor in the public sphere.
Thus, in ridiculing Trudeau, Musk reminds everyone that truth and clarity can sometimes be served with a well-placed touch of humor and provocation. His comment is a lesson in elegance and truth in a world where words are often chosen too carefully to not offend, at the expense of frankness and common sense.
Now the question to ask is who will Justin complain about his comment knowing that Musk is X’s boss.
Musk had already publicly criticized Justin Trudeau and the Canadian government.
