BILLIONAIRE ELON MUSK threw his weight behind a US exit from NATO, saying on his social media platform that it "doesn't make sense for America to pay for the defense of Europe."

The senior adviser to US President Donald Trump was responding to a post on X early Sunday that asserted the US should "Exit NATO *now*!".

"We really should," the Tesla co-founder and chief executive officer said.

On March 3, Musk wrote on X he agreed with a suggestion by a conservative commentator that the US should leave both NATO and the United Nations.

Musk's comments come at a time when the future of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, which will mark its 76th anniversary in April, hangs in the balance.
