While we are doing citizenships I think we need to have a little chat.

He unfortunately got his citizenship at birth. Unless he voluntarily gives it up, can't keep him out of the country. He can however be barrred from obtaining government contracts.
Born to a prominent family in Pretoria, South Africa, Musk emigrated to Canada in 1989 and acquired its citizenship though his mother.
It's still the same thing as birthright citizenship. He has Canadian citizenship because his mother is Canadian.
An online petition calling on the Canadian government to revoke Elon Musk's citizenship is on track to become one of the most popular in the history of the House of Commons.
There's just one problem β Canada can't revoke Musk's citizenship.
Immigration lawyer Gabriela Ramo says that under Canadian law, someone's citizenship can only be revoked if it can be proven that they committed fraud or misrepresentation to obtain it.
"Before they could move to do this, they would need to introduce legislation, there would have to be amendments to the current Citizenship Act," said Ramo, former chair of the Canadian Bar Association's immigration section. "There's no provision that would allow them to pursue revocation of citizenship of a Canadian birth, by virtue of his birth to a Canadian mother."
Then let's amend the citizenship act to include acts of treason
You'd think he'd want to give up citizenship of a place he doesn't consider a "real country."
Musk born in SA?
To a Canadian mother.
Iβm sorry
This is the second time you have commented on my main while blocked by it.
How are you doing that?
Why don't you DM me here so that maybe we can act like adults?
I have no idea. I donβt look at who I reply to, just the content.
Iβm not interested in DMing you based on our last interaction, now that I can see who you are. Keep me blocked, or donβt. Itβs not like Iβm targeting you
His Grandfather had a pilots license and liked the slave labour they had going on down in South America digging up jewels.
