BlockBeats news, on January 8, Musk recently praised Canadian Prime Minister candidate Pierre Poilievre, who supports Bitcoin and advocates for cuts in government spending. This statement came after Musk had criticized European politicians for several days.
Musk retweeted a video of Poilievre, which went viral, where Poilievre explained that the best way to deal with inflation is to cut government spending—this view aligns with Musk's perspective. Musk stated, 'Perfect expression.'
Canadian Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre is running for Prime Minister, following the announcement on Monday by current Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of his plans to resign. Polls show that Canadian voters are particularly concerned about the cost of living.
Poilievre has supported Bitcoin for many years, appearing on various cryptocurrency podcasts and expressing a vision of making Canada the 'global blockchain capital.' As early as 2022, this Conservative politician stated, 'Canadians should have the freedom to use other currencies, like Bitcoin,' as the government is 'destroying' the Canadian dollar. At that time, Trudeau criticized this remark as 'reckless.'
On the prediction market Polymarket, his chances of winning the position are considered as high as 89%, far ahead of the second-ranking Chrystia Freeland.
