Elon Musk calls Justin Trudeau ‘girl’ in fiery exchange over Trump’s idea of Canada joining the U.S.

Elon Musk mocks Justin Trudeau as a ‘girl’ after the Canadian PM rejects Trump’s suggestion of a U.S. takeover.

In a heated exchange, Elon Musk ridiculed Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau after he rejected Donald Trump’s provocative suggestion that Canada could become the 51st state of the United States. Musk, known for his outspoken remarks, referred to Trudeau as a "girl" and dismissed his authority, saying, "You’re not the governor of Canada anymore." This came in response to Trudeau’s public rebuke of Trump’s controversial idea, which had sparked a media frenzy.

Girl, you’re not the governor of Canada anymore, so doesn’t matter what you say

In response to Musk’s remarks, Trudeau firmly rejected the idea, emphasizing the strong trade and security partnerships between Canada and the U.S. "There’s not a snowball’s chance in hell that Canada would become part of the United States," Trudeau wrote on X (formerly Twitter). He also highlighted the mutual benefits of the countries' relationship.

Musk, never one to hold back, mocked Trudeau's statement further by writing, "Girl, you’re not the governor of Canada anymore, so it doesn’t matter what you say." This comment fueled social media reactions, drawing support and criticism in equal measure.

Meanwhile, Trump doubled down on his remarks, suggesting that Canada could benefit from joining the U.S., though he insisted that economic rather than military pressure would drive the change. Musk also praised the political shifts in 2025, celebrating what he called the return of "great men" with the political resignation of Trudeau. As the dispute between Musk and Trudeau escalated, Trump continued to fuel the controversy, even suggesting that Canada could benefit from joining the U.S. economically.
