Elon Musk echoed the sentiments expressed by American investor David Sacks on X concerning the post-Soviet era of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). Sacks pointed out that following the collapse of the USSR, NATO persisted and, instead of disbanding, redirected its focus towards expansion into former Warsaw Pact countries. This shift in purpose transformed NATO into what Sacks described as a hostile entity.

In agreement with Sacks’ observations, Musk commented, “Really. I have always wondered why NATO continues to exist, even though its enemy and the reason for its existence, the Warsaw Pact Organization, has collapsed.”

Musk questioned the ongoing relevance of NATO in the absence of its original adversary.
