Musk and Lee’s Call to Abandon NATO: Treason or Pragmatism?
Senator Mike Lee, echoing previous criticisms of NATO as a “Cold War relic,” argues the alliance benefits Europe disproportionately at America’s expense. This position has been publicly supported by Elon Musk, who similarly advocates for U.S. withdrawal from the organization. Their calls for leaving NATO highlight growing concerns about the alliance’s cost-benefit ratio for the United States. This debate underscores significant dissension regarding the future of American involvement in the transatlantic military alliance.
