'Protesting in a Canadian winter shows real commitment!' he said in another tweet

Publishing date:

Elon Musk is still speaking out about an ongoing protest in Ottawa sparked by a convoy of truckers who drove across the country pushing for the removal of vaccine mandates.

The protest started over the weekend in Canadas capital and continuedon Monday , leading to gridlock, downtown bus service cancellations, bridge closures, even some violent disruptions and acts of vandalism.

On Sunday, Musk replied to a tweet showing a video of protesters in Ottawa.

It would appear that the so-called fringe minority is actually the government, he wrote.

It was followed by another tweet saying, If the government had the mandate of the people, there would be a significant counter-protest. There is not, therefore they do not.

Protesting in a Canadian winter shows real commitment! he later added.

Musk also tweeted a photo showing dozens of trucks lining a highway with the caption Taking a break from politics for a while. Heres a nice photo of trucks.

In another tweet on Sunday, likely in reference to the protest, Musk included a meme of Nazi leader Adolf Hitler and wrote So many Hitlers! The meme is a photoshopped book cover with the title Everyone I dont like is Hitler.

Comedian Rob Schneider also continued to speak out about the protest. Like Musk, Schneider also posted his thoughts on social media over the weekend.

On Monday, Schneider quoted Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who had written a tweet in support of truckers at the start of the pandemic.

Schneider mockingly agreed wholeheartedly with Trudeau that truckers should be thanked for their hard work. He also posted a video showing trucks lining a highway, saying, For those of you who attempted to diminish the sheer size of Canadas Freedom Convoy, please enjoy this video.

I dont often agree with Justin Trudeau, but I concur wholeheartedly that it is the selfless hardworking truckers working day and night to make sure our shelves are stocked. So when you can #ThankATrucker for EVERYTHING theyre doing and help them however you can. pic.twitter.com/2dPt6ieT0W
