Musk's remarks were made on the social media platform, X, in response to a user's appeal for Musk's support in removing Trudeau from office.
The conversation was sparked by a Swedish journalist's update on Germany's political situation, prompting Musk to criticize German Chancellor Olaf Scholz following the collapse of his coalition, calling him a 'fool' in German.
Previously, Musk has criticized Trudeau for allegedly undermining free speech in Canada and compared the Prime Minister to Adolf Hitler during the Canadian truckers' protest in 2022.
Musk's earlier criticisms include comments on Canada's regulatory actions for online streaming services and Trudeau's invocation of emergency powers in 2022, which he compared to authoritarian measures.
Musk's online interactions continue to draw attention to his views on international politics.
