There are ways to accomplish that that don't drag millions of uninvolved innocent people along with you.

It's quite ironic, IMO. A lot of Americans are lamenting the decline of their country but then fall into the same selfish "America is the whole world and is all that matters" mindset as the people who are causing the decline in the first place.

Did you have something against the civilian populations in South America, central Africa, and India? What "good" would massive death and destruction in one of those regions do?

And we also bought ourselves the perception of being the "reasonable ones", with the US being even more blatantly painted as flagrant deal-breakers.

That will be useful as we build new alliances with the rest of the world.

The story is also not saying that AI generates no value, just that it's not generating revolutionary change-the-world new-Industrial-Revolution levels of value.

"For the most part" really doesn't cut it in an industry like this.

In short, Bybit was abysmally sloppy with their security.

Interesting. My understanding was that bill C-6 in 2017 removed all of these except for the "fraudulent application" reasons for revoking citizenship, and fraudulent application wouldn't apply here since Musk's Canadian by birth.

Still, "lots of people signed a petition" is not listed as a valid reason in either source.

Lol. "Use the laws against him!" Good idea 🙄

What, you're suggesting an "extrajudicial" revoking of his citizenship, then? How would that work? Why is that remotely a good idea? A government that ignores laws and just does whatever comes to mind is exactly the problem here.

Btw I don't know anyone who refers to Canada as "down here". Pretty sure they mean the US.

Yes, obviously. I'm pointing out a significant difference between the two countries.

And Trump would likely claim that the immigrants whose birthright citizenship he wants to revoke are "invading" the US.

I'm not saying that Elon Musk isn't awful. I'm saying that revoking his citizenship isn't the right way to deal with that. It's not even legal to do so it's a moot question to begin with.

We can't simply disavow Canadian citizens like that. If a Canadian citizen does something awful then we should do something about it. Put out a warrant for whatever it is he's up to. If you think he's a traitor, check the laws on treason and see if he qualifies for an actual charge.

That's a hangin' down here.

Canada does not have the death penalty.

Elon Musk's mother is Canadian.

There is no legal precedent for revoking citizenship like this. Why is this any better than Trump's push to revoke citizenship for immigrants that he doesn't like? There are better ways to handle this.

There's no legal path to revoking Musk's citizenship.

Trump wanted to revoke the citizenship of people he didn't like too, why is this any better?
