I’ve gone from pro-EU to Eurosceptic in seeing how toothless an entire continent has become to Russo-American corruption and aggression. If this is true, Musk is a national security risk to NATO and the EU. Consider the fury with which America (conventionally) or China or any regional power would react to a foreign person directly agitating against their own security interests like this while still seeking to profit off their market access.
