So who is Musk going to replace him with?

By the sound of it, his own party gets to pick a new leader to carry out his term. So we may have to wait for their next election before Elon gets can to buy Canada.

I could be completely wrong though I dont know anything about Canadian political systems.

The current government is a minority government, so the opposition parties can force an election whenever. By law, the next election has to occur by October 5th, but the opposition will likely trigger an election at the earliest opportunity. This is why Trudeau also delayed the next next sitting of parliament until March, to allow the party to elect a new leader before the inevitable election.

Long story short, the Conservatives will likely be in power by summer.
