      What’s Elon going to do? March up there to Ontario and throw a tantrum on the steps of the capitol building? He can take them to court in Canada, but that would take years.

        Yes, he will take them to court. He might take them to court in the US. Where was the contract signed?

        If they have any assets in the US, those could get frozen. Or if they do business in the US, those transactions could get seized.

      Depends on the contract and the clauses. We dont know what it says or how its worded.

      If the penalty is less than the increased tarrifs then they’re still saving money
