Elon Musk shared some choice words for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Wednesday, referring to him as an “insufferable tool” on social media.
Musk responded to a video posted on X in which Trudeau expressed his thoughts on the latest American election results.
“We were supposed to be on a steady, if difficult sometimes, march towards progress. And yet, just a few weeks ago, the United States voted for a second time to not elect its first woman president,” said Trudeau at a gala in Ottawa on Tuesday.
“Everywhere, women’s rights and women’s progress is under attack, overtly and subtly. And I want you to know that I am, and always will be, a proud feminist.”
In a reply to the post, Musk added that Trudeau “won’t be in power for much longer.”
He’s such an insufferable tool.
Won’t be in power for much longer.

The comments come after President-elect Donald Trump taunted Trudeau earlier this week, referring to him as the “Governor” of the “Great State of Canada” in a post he made on Truth Social.
“I look forward to seeing the Governor again soon so that we may continue our in depth talks on Tariffs and Trade, the results of which will be truly spectacular for all!” Trump stated in the post.
Trump recently named Musk, the founder of Tesla and owner of X, to co-chair his Department of Government Efficiency, also known as DOGE.
This isn’t the first time Musk has shown dislike for Trudeau’s leadership.
He will be gone in the upcoming election

On November 7, he said that the prime minister would “be gone in the upcoming election” in a reply to an X user asking him to help Canada “get rid” of Trudeau.
