Shopify CEO Tobi Lutke has called reports of UK-Canada-Australia’s plan to ban Elon Musk-owned social media platform X and AI chatbot Grok a “great honeypot”. In an X post, Lutke argues that the alleged proposed ban exposes officials unfit for public services. He further suggested that those suggesting ban on X “needs to resign”. “This is a great honeypot. Any government official who suggests banning X is not a public servant and needs to resign. Let’s see what happens,” Shopify CEO wrote in the post dated January 11, 2026.
Evan Solomon, MP for Toronto Centre and Minister of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Innovation also rejected reports of Canada considering a ban on X. “Contrary to media reports, Canada is not considering a ban of X,” Solomon wrote on X.
