Between January 10 and January 12, after being warned that an EV rebate program was running out of funds, Tesla dealerships in Canada managed to claim 8,669 individual iZEV EV rebates, or about $43 million CAD in incentives. That’s a staggering number of sales to log in a single weekend, about 1.5 sales per minute. Let’s dig into the numbers.
Now you know why he’s miffed about the bill taking away his ev rebates. I hope that dill hole finally gets his Canadian citizenship yanked. Or immediately gets jailed if stepping into Canada ever.
Knowing Canada though they’d go ‘well it’s not illegal’ and do dick all about it. You could slap them in the face with obvious manipulation and unless they had a law already in place they wouldn’t flinch. Intent be damned no matter how obvious. It’s all about overt action with them.
Then they’d decide to go nanny state and announce ‘no rebate programs ever forever because of this one thing happening that I didn’t address’ instead of dealing with this shit directly.
this kneeling to the devil shit and cowing to opportunists is getting real old. Real fast
Seize Tesla and Elon Musk owned property to make up the difference for obvious fraud.
eminent domain seizure and fucking liquidate them
Liquify*
i mean, that TOO.
This exchange reminds me of Soul Music
“I want a stagecoach with liver on the sides,”
“You mean Livery.”
“That too.”

Elon now stealing money from Canada taxpayers. US taxpayers not enough.

100% tarrifs will be a good start
Xelon + fraud? No one is shocked.
It makes me so happy that I saw protesters today in front of the nearby dealership. Elon a shit.
Up next, Elon makes a sovereign wealth fund disappear.
Elon Musk will go down in history as THE EXAMPLE of greed and generational wealth will do to you.
He is the wealthiest man in history, but is still never satisfied. He will never be happy. And you can’t convince me he is happy right now. His actions are not the same as a happy man, but one that is insecure. Literally every decision, action, and even conversation reeks of it.
Powerful Crassus energy to this one.
Hopefully this will educate future generations to tax the everliving fuck out of the rich. American democracy has gotten worse as the tax rates fell.
I think this may be less a money grab and more a 'how dare Canada stand up to me (acting president Muskrat) and levy all these tariffs against us?! Ill show you!".
Honestly though, is this just the musky one getting as close as he can to being president as he legally cant due to being a non-US born citizen? Buying his way in and fooling the worlds best business man to take him on as his ‘2IC’ ?
Somethings fucky here…
So from everything I’ve seen about this situation, it looks a whole fucking lot like a massive amount of malfeasance from Tesla. I genuinely hope the Canadian government throws the book at them and absolutely reams them financially for fraud.
I don’t know. The US might hit them with tariffs if they do that!
It’s amazing how if you jump to tariffs the you have no real soft power left
People who don’t threaten physical violence often… you know, softies, the part-time tough guys… they don’t anticipate how long-lasting the negative reaction from their victims will be.
The annexation talk, the 51st state talk, none of that stuff will be directly linked to whatever counterpunch Canada cooks up, but it’ll be hardening the hearts of the Canadian voters to be in favor of ever-more-draconian countermeasures.
I hope those Twitter threats felt great to issue, because we’ll all be paying for those for a good long while on every agricultural transaction (among others!) that we make with our closest ally in the coming decades.
Do the right thing Canada. Arrest warrants for all involved.
imagine being the richest person in the world and still committing obvious fraud for a quick million.
Sounds like fraud to me
Smells like fraud! Tesla is ran by a grifter. Canada better get their stuff together and arrest or ban Musk from business in Canada or he will have you acting like the US.
