PETITION TO REVOKE US CITIZENSHIP
The poll comes after the same X account reported on a petition, started by Americans, to revoke Elon Musk’s US citizenship.
It references a Change.org petition – which currently has 6000 signatures – which is addressed to authorities, including the US House of Representatives.
The petition accused the world’s richest man of “exerting imbalanced and potentially corrupting influence” on the government and country.
