Musk Agrees With Sen. Mike Lee: 'Exit NATO Now'
Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, urged the U.S. to reevaluate its funding and continued participation in the North American Treaty Organization this weekend, and the bold statement got the attention of Department of Government Efficiency chief Elon Musk.
"Exit NATO now!" Lee wrote in a midnight X post, sharing a video of nude, chest-painted women marching in protest in Paris.
Lee's post got the attention of Musk minutes later.
"We really should," Musk replied on X. "Doesn't make sense for America to pay for the defense of Europe."
NATO has been criticized for almost a decade by President Donald Trump, who has long questioned why the U.S. is on the hook for the majority of funding for World War II-era European defense alliance.
