What's Elon going to do? March up there to Ontario and throw a tantrum on the steps of the capitol building? He can take them to court in Canada, but that would take years.

Yes, he will take them to court. He might take them to court in the US. Where was the contract signed?

If they have any assets in the US, those could get frozen. Or if they do business in the US, those transactions could get seized.

What’s the practical effect of the US seizing Canadian property? We’ve seen what proposed tariffs did, and that was galvanize a whole nation to call Trumps bluff. Do you think taking them to court and seizing assets is going to work better than the tariffs?

He would freeze the money because "look more money. I want money. I take money. I like money"

Its pretty simple
