Yes, but his grandfather fled Canada for S. Africa after they banned talk of technostates because it involved taking down the government. See here.

This same philosophy is where Curtis Yarvin got the Dark Enlightenment movement (think dark MAGA and Elon's black maga hat). Yarvin fans are Peter Theil, JD Vance, and others. There is a whole movement to dismantle the US gov for a techno monarchy that can be traced back to Elon's grandfather in Canada.

It's scary that so many people don't know about the Dark Enlightenment and accelerationist reactionary agenda.

Grandparents on mother's side left Canada in 1950.
