Elon Musk backs calls for us exit from NATO and UN
Elon Musk responded to a post by an American political commentator who claimed it is "time to leave NATO and the UN." "I agree," wrote the head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
"It's time to leave NATO and the UN," declared Gunther Eagleman on platform X, to which Elon Musk responded briefly: "I agree."
The author of the post, Gunther Eagleman, whose channel on platform X is followed by 1.3 million people, regularly publishes comments and his views on United States politics. He is a supporter of President Donald Trump and the far-right political faction MAGA (Make America Great Again).
NATO as a "Cold War relic"?
On Saturday, Republican Senator Mike Lee also suggested that the USA should consider withdrawing from NATO. On his X channel, he described the alliance as a "Cold War relic," which is a "great deal for Europe" but "not beneficial for America."
On Thursday, Lee introduced the DEFUND bill in the Senate — Disengaging Entirely from the United Nations Debacle, which proposes the immediate withdrawal of the USA from UN structures.
The United States is one of the founding members of the UN and serves as one of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council. NATO consists of 32 member countries, 30 from Europe, and the USA and Canada.
