Canada πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ β€”1% of the population has signed to revoke Elon’s Canadian citizenship. Why can't Americans revoke Elon's American citizenship as well?

Elon and DOGE have been committing crimes, stealing our personal information/data and who knows what else. No one in our government seems to know what Elon and DOGE are doing. He has unlimited access to highly sensitive and restricted areas of our government. We must not allow this violation of our country to continue. Sign this petition and let us get rid of the greed/ unchecked power of Elon Musk and DOGE. This a matter of national security and what Elon musk/DOGE are doing is not finding fraud. They have no proof that they have made public. This is a coup!

I hate musk but I don't really like the idea of tevoking citizenship.

Start doing that to people you don't like and before you know it the power will be used by right wing nut jobs to get rid of immigrants.

    I absolutely agree that fascism is running amok, but there's no legal instances of citizens being strippedbof their status.

    This is kind of the holy grail for fascists they would love to be able to un-citizen people.

    Giving them a precedent would be a really, really dumb move.

    It will either be a "hearts and minds" war or a "blood and death" war.

    By going low on something like this, it feeds a MASSIVE win to the propaganda machine of the right. It would completely justify their "both sides" rhetoric and lose the "hearts and minds" war.

    Citizens asking for it is better. It expresses an opinion, while also letting the left draw a line in the sand, before the right tries to push it through. Politicians trying to do it, would not be worth the cost.

    I think if a million people single you out by name, maybe you deserve to be deported.

    Generally I hate slippery slope arguments but in this case stripping someone of citizenship would create a precedent that the fascists would take advantage of.

    Yes he "deserves" the be stripped of citizenship but it would cost you more than you would be willing to pay.
