While I don't think it's possible to revoke his citizenship it might be possible to try him for treason against 'his' country.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

There is precedent to revoke his citizenship.
In the 1980s, there was another extremist who used his international media platform to spew hate and disinformation. His name was Ernst Zundel. He continually laughed at Canada's laws against hate speech. He was ultimately jailed and then deported from our country.
(FYI Charlie Angus is a Member of Parliament in Canada.)

Edit to fix word
(FYI Charlie Angus is a Minister of Parliament in Canada.)
Member of Parliament. He’s a part of the NDP opposition party. Ministers are heads of ministries, which are like departments, and ministers have traditionally been from the governing party.
You're right. My bad.
Por qué no los dos?
Why do a lot of you do this nonsense. You're swinging for the fences and play right into the hands of the right when you put all your effort into comments like "he can be tried for treason" just swing lower and stop the dramatics. He can be tried for being a piece of shit. He can be tried for all the hormone therapy he's done. He can be tried for being a billionaire and still banging only 4s
It's more than 200,000 now. Good, we don't claim him!
I don't get the point and effort on this whole not putting effort into making shit posts. That one AI video of Trump licking Musk's feed did more in 2 minutes then a petition with 200,000 signatures can.
If I were the Queen of America, I would have Elon tried for treason, I'd also have ICE remove everyone from their detention centers but not close it completely, they'd now have the job of Violating the fuck out of Elon's 8th Amendment rights.
Add mine to the total. Stop buying Teslas Don't use his internet service that pollutes the night sky Just a big thumbs down to this pseudo nazi.
Oh, Elon is a real Nazi alright. No doubt about that.
Talking about musk is how he really gets his power.
I think the only solution is to excommunicate him and deny any suggestion made by people who support him.
If it involves musk, it should be a no-go from the get-go.

While reducing his sources of income will hurt him a little bit, unfortunately Starlink is very appealing to militaries and emergency services. Being able to access the internet is great for morale in the navy, and mission critical for plenty of emergency services. This is particularly true in Australia where we have vast unpopulated areas with very patchy phone coverage, let alone bandwidth for data services. I know some services are installing starlink as emergency backups for stations and in forward command vehicles. They'll be paying the big bucks for Starlink.
Can Americans sign this petition also?
It's nearly impossible to relinquish your own citizenship, how many people is it gonna take to take someone else's citizenship?
It would only take one, actually.
Don't care, still want to sign it.
You know it's serious because they didn't even say "sorry."
I am hoping that he is marked as treasonous. The sooner that members of Yarvin's Cabal end up on wanted posters throughout the world, the better.
You know what, revoke his citizen ship for dressing like a fucking teenager.
I dont like musk, but revoking citizenship is a slippery slope that we should not go down. It will become political very quickly where if the government doesn't like someone because they don't agree with them then they have that avenue.
Musk is terrible but this move doesn't do much against him and it only hurts the future for others.
Based af
I see your point but a government not liking someone vs a government protecting themselves against a credible threat are different things. Musk has shown that he has the ability to severely damage democratic systems, what other regular citizen has that kind of power?
Yeah but the government is known for abusing their power. They could just as easily use this against someone who becomes the leader of a civil rights organizations whose organizing people and protesting or striking for workers. They'll just claim they're dangerous and strip them of citizenship.
Why is this downvoted? This is a valid argument. Revoking citizenship because we don't like them? Seriously? Either this whole thing is a joke and I don't get it or we have some 150k nationalistic anti-democracy radicals signing this.
