Musk: There is no point in Americans covering the costs of Europe's defense

"Wait, why are American taxpayers covering 2/3 of Europe's defense costs? That's nonsense. Defense from whom?" Musk asked on the social network X (blocked in Russia).

This is how the entrepreneur commented on a post by one of the social network users, which indicated that the US spends 3.5 percent of its GDP, while many countries have not even reached the 2 percent figure.

Previously, US President Donald Trump has repeatedly expressed dissatisfaction with the fact that European partners do not allocate enough funds for their security.

Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth said in February that NATO countries remain Washington's allies, but they should do more to ensure their own security.
