U.S. billionaire Elon Musk has a “considerable following” in Canada and around the world, an official says.

Musk, or anyone else working under him, does not fall into the category of foreign interference, she adds.

Officials say they are monitoring attempts to sow discord through social media.

Musk has often weighed in on international politics after using his influence to support Donald Trump’s campaign.

There will be greater use of artificial intelligence tools like generative deepfakes to try and influence voters, Lloyd said.

China , India , Russia and Pakistan are among the foreign state actors most likely to exert influence and promote their interests during the election, she added.

Officials will monitor for coordinated and pervasive influence and interference campaigns and raise concerns when appropriate.
