CEO of Tela Elon Musk has been criticized for, among other things, aligning with Donald Trump in the middle of the American president’s actions towards Canada – so much so that hundreds of thousands of Canadians have signed a petition requiring musk to be stripped of its Canadian citizenship.

“I just like technology. Some people are Ford guys, some people are guys dodging, some people are Porsche guys … I am a guy from Tesla. I just fell in love with technology five years ago. »»
Sahi said he had placed an order two years ago when the cybertrucks became available for ordering in Canada, and things have been going on since then, due to global events and the increasingly controversial political role of Musk.
He said he had planned to sell the truck, but lost money on the agreement. And although he understands the reasons behind the backlash, he believes that hatred is not an answer – and that Canadians should be better than that.
“I actually receive death threats on social networks … on a truck?” We are Canadians. We are more tolerant with each other. This is not how we are.
“If we judge everyone by the actions of the CEO of the company, we must stop buying a lot of products.”
