Musk’s tweet prompted a huge response from Twitter users, collecting 93,000 retweets in less than 24 hours. Some resonated with his message, while others took the opportunity to criticize the entrepreneur, who has emerged as a politically controversial figure.

“This is some HEAVY truth,” Young Americans for Liberty wrote in response to Musk’s tweet.

“When you’re behind on three models, you weren’t invited to the White House and the stock’s down by 1/3,” wrote NBC reporter Carl Quintanilla.

Musk tweeted the broad warning on the same day he tweeted his support for the thousands of Canadian truckers who have formed a convoy headed to Ottawa to protest the country’s vaccine mandates.

“Canadian truckers rule,” Musk tweeted Thursday afternoon. “Freedom is being stripped away one piece at a time until it is gone,” Musk said in a subsequent tweet.

The massive demonstration has been dubbed the “Freedom Convoy” and has drawn support from all over Canada.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called the protesting truckers a “fringe minority of people” that does not represent most of the country’s residents.

“The small fringe minority of people who are on their way to Ottawa are holding unacceptable views that they’re expressing, do not represent the views of Canadians who have been there for each other who know that following the science and stepping up to protect each other is the best way to continue to ensure our freedoms, rights, and values as a country,” Trudeau said.
