Musk responded to a post on social media X on Sunday that said the US should "withdraw from NATO immediately."

NBC reported on March 6 that Trump had discussed with aides the possibility of adjusting U.S. engagement with NATO to favor Alliance members that spend a certain percentage of their GDP on defense.
Speaking to reporters the same day, Trump said he had told NATO allies that if they weren't going to pay their bills, he wouldn't defend them.
"It's common sense, yes. If they don't pay, I'm not going to defend them. No, I'm not going to defend them," Trump told reporters in the Oval Office.
However, under the 2023 law, the US president cannot unilaterally withdraw from the Alliance without a two-thirds majority vote in the Senate or an act of Congress.
