Musk’s new jab at Trudeau: ‘Girl, you’re not the governor of Canada anymore’

After Justin Trudeau publicly rejected President-elect Donald Trump’s provocative suggestion that the US could take over Canada, Tesla CEO Elon Musk on Wednesday took a swipe at the Canadian Prime Minister by calling him a “girl” and dismissing his authority by saying, “You’re not the governor of Canada anymore.”

Trudeau, who announced his resignation as Prime Minister on Monday due to declining popularity, had strongly rejected Trump’s proposal.

“There isn’t a snowball’s chance in hell that Canada would become part of the United States,” Trudeau declared in a fiery post on X.

“Workers and communities in both our countries benefit from being each other’s biggest trading and security partner,” he added.

In response, Musk, never one to hold back, mocked Trudeau’s statement, saying, “Girl, you’re not the governor of Canada anymore, so doesn’t matter what you say.”

Meanwhile, Trump on Tuesday doubled down on his controversial statements at Mar-a-Lago, claiming that Canada joining the US would be “something really special.”

The President-elect downplayed the notion of using military force, stating, “No, economic force,” while alluding to a potential 25% tariff on Canadian imports as leverage.

He has consistently labeled the Canada-US border an “artificially drawn line” and referred to Trudeau as the “governor of Canada.”

Adding fuel to the fire, Musk praised the dramatic political shifts of 2025 in another X post, celebrating what he called the return of “great men.”

Highlighting Trudeau’s resignation, he wrote, “Trump won. Trudeau resigned. Masculinity is back. Great men are ascendant. And just in time. We’re going to need them.”

Trudeau’s decision to resign comes amid increasing dissent within his own Liberal Party, fueled by a struggling economy and poor approval ratings.

With Canada’s next federal election approaching by October 20, polls indicate a significant lead for the Conservatives, suggesting a major political shift in the Great White North.
