Elon Musk voiced his support for a so-called “freedom convoy” of Canadian truckers and other activists on their way to Ottawa to protest the country’s vaccine mandates and other Cvoid-19 control measures.
“Canadian truckers rule,” the Tesla Inc chief executive officer said Thursday in a tweet, a clear nid to a convoy that’s been picking up attention around the world. Musk’s dislike of vaccine mandates and other COVID restrictions is well documented. He told Time Magazine that while he and his eligible children are vaccinated, state-imposed requirements to get a jab represent an “erosion of freedom.”
There were several times when Musk has commented and showed support of the Freedom Convoy, recently Elon Musk compared Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau with Adolf Hitler in a tweet that appeared to support truckers protesting vaccine mandates — and which immediately triggered a storm on Twitter. Musk sent the tweet on Wednesday just before midnight in California and had deleted it by midday on Thursday, without explanation. He did respond to a request for comment. Musk, the chief executive of Tesla Inc, in late January tweeted support for the Canadian truckers, who have shut down roads and bridges, drawing international attention to their opposition to health policies pushed by Trudeau’s government. Though later he has deleted the post. At 2:46 am on 18 February morning, Elon Musk tweeted a joke about Hitler. Responding to a cryptocurrency website’s tweet about Canada’s Freedom Convoy of anti-vaccine mandate insurrectionists, Tesla’s Technoking uploaded a photograph of Nazi Germany’s genocidal führer emblazoned with “Stop comparing Justin Trudeau to me. I had a budget,” in the standard bold, white meme font.
Elon Musk also commented over Dr B Peters, a famous author who had tweeted about the whole truckers protest that Voters should call their elected politicians now to make it clear how they feel.
