Elon Musk called for a complete reorganization of NATO

This is how he responded to the words of Senator Mike Lee that the alliance "has outlived its usefulness" and the era of the "cold war is long over".



Even if NATO is completely dissolved, and Putin, in response to this,… pic.twitter.com/dRCr8ue2UE— Victor vickop55 commentary (@vick55top) February 12, 2025

Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk has called for a fundamental restructuring of NATO.

His remarks, posted on social media, come as geopolitical tensions escalate worldwide and scrutiny over U.S. military spending intensifies.

Musk’s statement, “NATO needs an overhaul,” was made in response to U.S. Senator Mike Lee’s comment that “The Cold War is over. NATO’s anachronistic.”

Musk has been a vocal critic of the U.S. military-industrial complex, previously questioning the cost and efficiency of major defense programs, including the F-35 fighter jet and the U.S. Navy’s shipbuilding strategy. He has argued that existing procurement and development processes have led to bloated budgets and outdated weapons systems, leaving the U.S. and its allies vulnerable to emerging threats.

Like many government and international institutions, Barak Obama and his backers used the power of the US to fundamentally change and corrupt NATO.

The NATO of the 2020s is not the NATO of the Cold War or even of the GW Bush 2005 era.

That said, NATO is a vital alliance to prevent destructive wars. Communist Russia might not exist anymore but Communist China sure does.
