May as well. At least then the cowards can't block Ukraine from joining NATO because they're scared shitless of Putin.

... which has cut significant amounts of government spending...
Has it, though? I mean, even its own over-inflated "receipts" are barely a microscopic percentage of a drop of the overall budget.
He’s such a clown. Who is a citizen.
He is a citizen. Now, there is some evidence he may have obtained that citizenship under false pretenses, but as of now he is legally a US citizen.
The USA have never been so weak and so alone. Seems like a good time to exit NATO
Isolationism won't make America safer, just lonelier on the global stage.

Wait until the US dives deeper into the fuck around part and countries start putting sanctions on them.
Russia isn't going to be buying a pile of Musk's shitty Cyberlemons.
I publicly support deporting this laminated-faced welfare queen.
Musk is a moron, instead of the US leaving NATO, why not just move. He can just go to Mars as far as I'm concerned.
He never wanted Mars or any scientific endeavors, he just wanted public adoration, that's all he's ever wanted. He paid hundreds of billions just to get to a place where he can try to influence as many people as possible into liking him.
B/c if he can make the US like Russia, he can achieve his obvious goal of becoming the world's first trillionaire w/in the next 3.5 years. At that point, he will probably just become a shadow king... I mean more-so that he already is.
FWIW, I think it's funny that the macOS dictionary doesn't recognize "trillionaire" as a legit word. Of course, it shouldn't be, but we all know it's inevitable.
I publicly support ejecting this unelected scumbag from our country.
I publicly support ejecting that unelected scumbag from a passenger jet enroute to anywhere away from our country.
No, we don't want elon either, keep it in your country
Leaving the UN would mean giving up US veto power. This would be one of the stupidest decisions of all time. No wonder Elon wants to do it.
good point, they will be out of UNSC as well.
Why the fuck should we care what he says?!
Because he has unchecked power in our government. It's important to pay close attention to what he says and does, so we can figure out the best ways to remove him.
