Elon Musk has told Justin Trudeau he “doesn’t matter” after the outgoing Canadian prime minister dismissed Donald Trump’s plan for the U.S. to take over its northern neighbor.

As a giant of industry and the world’s richest man, Elon Musk wields influence across the global economy. He’s leveraging that success to extend his influence into the democratic process in Canada and elsewhere.
