Elon Musk mocked Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau amid this weekend's trucker protest against the Canadian federal government's vaccine mandate, calling Trudeau's administration the real "fringe minority."
Replying to a video of Saturday's anti-vaccine protest in Ottawa, Musk tweeted: "It would appear that the so-called 'fringe minority' is actually the government."
As the parade of trucks traveled across Canada to the nation's capital last week, Trudeau denounced the Freedom Convoy 2022, calling participants "small fringe minority who are on the way to Ottawa who are holding unacceptable views" at a press conference earlier in the week.
Truckers had previously been exempt from the vaccine mandate as they were considered essential to the supply chain. The latest requirements are part of the Trudeau administration's response to the highly transmissible Omicron variant.
While trade industry groups say the mandate would take only 10 to 15 percent of commercial truck drivers off the road, the threat of 12,000 to 16,000 fewer drivers would further exacerbate the labor shortage and dire supply chain delays.

On Thursday, Tesla's CEO also wrote, "Canadian truckers rule" and "Je m'aple [sic] syrup."
The protest has also been criticized by many Canadian politicians after the police launched several investigations into the appearance of swastika flags at Saturday's protest and footage of a woman dancing on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
"Several criminal investigations are underway in relation to the desecration of the National War Memorial/Terry Fox statue, threatening/illegal/intimidating behaviour to police/city workers and other individuals and damage to a city vehicle," Ottawa Police said in a Sunday statement on Twitter.
Trudeau and his family left their home in the nation's capital during the protest over safety concerns.
Newsweek reached out to Trudeau's office for comment but did not hear back before publication.

“Applies to the US too, where “The Biden regime is the real “fringe minority.”
BINGO!
And they get away with it.
It helps when you have a bought-and-paid-for media propping you up.
Weird. A billionaire who isn’t a major govt lickspittle. I guess that’s why Musk doesn’t get invited to all the parties.
imagine if a similar trucker protest came to Washington DC?
The deep-state lizards would absolutely freak-out. I would expect them to go “tiananmen square” on the protestors.
Who would have guessed that Elon Musk would become one of the most outspoken proponent for freedom and for our side.
It won’t be long he’ll be a rabid conservative.
He better watch his steps, though. The swamp doesn’t take being attacked too favorably.
They will find a federal law he has broken and come after him. Everyone in the country breaks at least two federal laws every day.
A D.C. Convoy is in the planning stages now based on the success of the Ottawa convoy. There are at least 6,000 U.S. trucks headed to Ottawa today.
Elon is a very smart African-American!
“They will find a federal law he has broken and come after him. Everyone in the country breaks at least two federal laws every day.”
Yes, and we marvel at China and Xi going after Alibaba’s Jack Ma, and other Ceos who dare critize the party line.
I think they learned that tactic from us.
The media deserves an ugly fate.
Great news about American truckers going to Ottawa.
The American truckers are going to follow the sucessful methods of the Canadian truckers. And they’re not going to DC and just turn around. They’ll be there for a while.
When they set up the “Go Fund Me” to help pay for fuel, they’ll get tons of support.
I doubt if Musk is worried about any of that. He is a fighter. And he has plenty of money and lawyers to fight with.
Good for Musk... Musk and Maher are too smart to totally buy the democrat line. That's a blessing for our side- if democrats go too far they'll protect us.
Actually, the article that ran over 10 years ago said that almost everyone in the USA commits THREE FELONIES A DAY.
...
It was written by Harvey Silverglate
....
He has a book out Three Felonies A Day: How the Feds Target the Innocent
“The average professional in this country wakes up in the morning, goes to work, comes home, eats dinner, and then goes to sleep, unaware that he or she has likely committed several federal crimes that day. Why? The answer lies in the very nature of modern federal criminal laws, which have exploded in number but also become impossibly broad and vague. In Three Felonies a Day, Harvey A. Silverglate reveals how federal criminal laws have become dangerously disconnected from the English common law tradition and how prosecutors can pin arguable federal crimes on any one of us, for even the most seemingly innocuous behavior. The volume of federal crimes in recent decades has increased well beyond the statute books and into the morass of the Code of Federal Regulations, handing federal prosecutors an additional trove of vague and exceedingly complex and technical prohibitions to stick on their hapless targets. The dangers spelled out in Three Felonies a Day do not apply solely to “white collar criminals,” state and local politicians, and professionals. No social class or profession is safe from this troubling form of social control by the executive branch, and nothing less than the integrity of our constitutional democracy hangs in the balance.”
(I think Hillary, Pelosi, Biden and some others commit a lot more than just three a day. But this post would be exceedingly more lengthy if we took the time to elaborate.)
Just mixing or storing Weed-B-Gone incorrectly can get you 5 years in Fed prison. Refill disposable propane bottles and driving them around and off you can go to the hoosegow.
Already knew he was a douche, but I am surprised he wasn’t at all conciliatory with the truckers and went all in douche mode.
Thanks Travis. I agree .280%
