"All Countries Should Leave the EU": Elon Musk’s Radical Statement

He wrote this on the social network X (formerly Twitter, banned in Russia) while commenting on a user’s post advocating for Ireland’s exit from the European Union (IREXIT) due to disputes over migration policy. The discussion was sparked by a ruling from the European Union courts requiring Ireland to provide housing for asylum seekers, despite Irish courts rejecting such an obligation. The businessman supported this viewpoint, stating: «Ireland should leave the EU. All nations should do so, in my opinion.» According to him, the European Union is «undermining democracy in Europe.»

Earlier, political analyst Marat Bashirov claimed that if anyone could swiftly and drastically undermine the capabilities of the Ukrainian Armed Forces—«it’s Elon Musk with his Starlink satellite internet» (Ukrainians use this network for military operations), the analyst reported. Not U.S. President Donald Trump, not German Chancellor Friedrich Merz or French leader Emmanuel Macron, «but Musk,» he stated.
