    I have absolutely no love for Poilievre whatsoever, but listen to his answer to the question:

    Do you accept [Musk’s] endorsement?

    He very specifically doesn’t say yes at any point. He starts off by saying that going to Mars is the ambition of a toddler. He goes on to say “I hope Tesla opens some factories in Canada so that Canadians can benefit”. He calls doubt on the notion that a meeting with Musk is ever even in the realm of possibilities.

    For people who hate Poilievre, I challenge you to really listen to what he says here. He’s dissing Musk, actually pretty harshly.

      That’s a very generous interpretation.

      I hear it as “I can’t wait to get my hands in Elon’s pockets and get my kid set for life like I was”
