US Senator Joins Elon Musk in Calling for Withdrawal from NATO

Elon Musk shared his support for the US leaving NATO and the UN on Saturday night and was joined in the cause by Utah Sen. Mike Lee. The head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) took to X to write “I agree” to a post stating “It’s time to leave NATO and the UN”

Musk is joined by several Republican lawmakers, such as Lee, who have questioned U.S. membership of NATO. Lee, who has criticized NATO for quite some time, has said that the alliance is a “great deal for Europe” but a “raw deal for America.” He has suggested that US resources are being used to defend Europe while doing little to protect America.

“Get us out of NATO,” Lee wrote on X on Saturday.

Musk’s statement comes as the Trump administration is making clear that it may turn its back on its traditional allies. That includes America’s future in NATO. Lee said on X that it was a “good time” to leave the alliance.

Our Take: Elon Musk continues to follow in the footsteps of Kanye West and break the seal on taboo. Five years ago, suggesting that we should quit NATO would have been controversial, and suggesting that we should leave the UN would have been unthinkable — yet here we are.

The NATO conversation is rather self-evident, and increasingly obvious, given the ridiculous dynamic emerging in Europe where we (the US) pay to protect them from the same people (Russia) from which they purchase energy.

You also have the British Prime Minister, Kier Starmer, publicly pledging to put "boots on the ground and planes in the air" to fight Russia on behalf of Ukraine. Not only is that a deranged idea, given the relative weakness of the British military in comparison to Russia, but it also brings into question NATO's Article 5, which requires all members to go to war if a single member is attacked.

While Starmer's rhetoric would suggest an offensive operation against Russia — negating Article 5 — the mere fact that he is comfortable speaking in such a reckless manner is indicative of the European status quo. We can't trust these preening peacocks to keep it in their pants, like a pervert at a LGTBQ event at a children's library. For that reason, it's probably best that we just remove ourselves from the situation.

As for the UN, that is a very juicy and ironic twist, and something I have been anticipating for over a year. Elon and Trump are "drafting" (racing term) off of the Zionist lobby, which is irate at the UN for its targeting of Netanyahu and the Israeli government concerning the Gaza conflict. Trump is leveraging that animosity to pull the US out of the UN's clutches, and the Zionist-controlled GOP is eagerly towing the line, to please their masters.

For the record, this is exactly why I was so excited about the arrest warrant the [illegitimate, Soros-created] UN International Criminal Court issued against Netanyahu last year. I had a feeling it would lead to this development.
