Canada's billionaire-owned Globe & Mail wants you to "properly hate" Elon Musk
Canada's billionaire-owned newspaper found itself in the line of fire for encouraging Canadians to hate Elon Musk.
A Globe and Mail opinion piece arguing readers should learn to "properly hate" billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk has triggered a wave of backlash from prominent Canadian business leaders, entrepreneurs and commentators, with critics accusing the newspaper of promoting envy and hypocrisy.
The article, published under the headline “SpaceX IPO makes Elon Musk the first trillionaire. Here’s how to properly hate him,” drew criticism across social media from figures who argued the framing reflected Canadian hostility toward wealth creation rather than legitimate criticism of Musk’s actions or politics.
