Tech Billionaire Musk, who supported President Donald Trump’s second presidential attempt, predicts that Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will lose the next election. Musk made his prediction while speaking with a Swedish journalist on his X social media site.
The journalist updated the German government, writing, “The German Socialist government had COLLAPSED, and there are now talks about a snap election.”
Musk then reposted the Swedish journalist’s message, describing German Chancellor Olaf Scholz as ‘stupid’. “Olaf ist ein Narr” translates to “Olaf is a fool.”
Another X user commented on the tweet, writing, “Elon Musk, we need your help in Canada to get rid of Trudeau.” Elon responded to his comment, writing, “He will be gone in the upcoming election.”

This wasn’t the first time the tech tycoon has criticized Justin Trudeau. Previously, he criticized the Trudeau government for ‘destroying free expression’ in Canada.
His recent remark came following the Canadian government’s decision that online streaming firms must register for regulatory restrictions.
Musk, a Canadian citizen, subsequently tweeted on X, calling it shameful and adding, “Trudeau is attempting to crush free speech in Canada.” Shameful.”
The forthcoming Canadian election in October 2025 will be critical for Trudeau, who has headed the Liberal Party since 2013. Trudeau is seeking his fourth election victory in a row, a feat no prime leader has accomplished since Wilfried Laurier in 1908.
Others have tried, notably Trudeau’s father, who came close, but Canadians tend to tire of a leader by the fourth election.
While early elections in Canada are possible, the ruling Liberals and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau are not eager to meet with people anytime soon. Next year, Trudeau’s party will compete with other major parties, including Pierre Poilievre’s Conservative Party and Jagmeet Singh’s New Democratic Party.
Other contenders include the Green Party and the Bloc Quebecois.
