The world’s largest island, which sits between the Atlantic and Arctic oceans and is 80% covered by ice, is an autonomous territory that’s part of the Kingdom of Denmark.

This is getting super fucking ridiculous. And, of course, President Musk has weighed in:

Also Monday, Elon Musk, the billionaire owner of Tesla and a close advisor to the President-elect, said on X, the social media site he owns, that “The People of Greenland should decide their future and I think they want to be part of America!”

At least one Greenlander MP has a good response:

Aaja Chemnitz, a member of Greenland’s parliament wrote in a post on Facebook that people in Greenland need to get better at saying no to the President-elect, writing that it is “incredible that some can be so naive to think happiness is made by us becoming American citizens” and that she doesn’t “want to be a piece of Trump’s hot dreams of expanding his empire to include our country.”

“Don’t let Trump control the Greenland election campaign and leave the population as losers in that game,” Chemnitz wrote.

    Greenland is largely populated by indigenous people, they really like their island the way it is, with nice cities along the coast and no roads cutting through the land
