Elon Musk Advocates Overhaul of UN Bodies, Labels India's Exclusion 'Absurd

Tesla CEO Elon Musk has called for a comprehensive restructuring of United Nations bodies and criticized the exclusion of India from the UN Security Council, deeming it 'absurd'. In a post on X, Musk expressed his viewpoint, emphasizing the need for a revision of UN bodies and pointing out the inequity of India, the world's most populous country, not having a permanent seat on the Security Council. He also suggested that Africa collectively should also have a permanent seat, according to his opinion.

Musk's comments on X were prompted by UN Secretary-General António Guterres expressing concern about the absence of an African country in the council. Guterres, in his X post, questioned the acceptance of Africa still lacking a single Permanent Member in the Security Council, advocating for institutions to reflect the realities of today's world rather than those of 80 years ago. He highlighted the upcoming Summit of the Future in September as an opportunity to consider global governance reforms and rebuild trust.

The issue of India's absence in the council was further raised by Michael Eisenberg, who went as far as suggesting that the UN needs to be dismantled. Quoting Guterres's post, Eisenberg questioned India's exclusion and proposed a more radical approach, stating, "And what about India? Better yet is to dismantle the UN and build something new with real leadership."
