President Donald Trump‘s close confidant and billionaire backer Elon Musk has supported a call for the U.S. to withdraw from the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and the United Nations (UN).
In a post on Saturday night, Musk endorsed a suggestion from X user @GuntherEagleman, who wrote: “It’s time to leave NATO and the UN.”
Newsweek has contacted the U.N. and NATO for comment outside of normal office hours.
Why It Matters
Musk’s influential relationship with Trump is well-documented and his backing of the idea adds weight to growing skepticism within the administration toward international alliances. The Trump administration has been critical of NATO, with the president frequently questioning its value and pushing allies to increase defense spending.
