Tech billionaire Elon Musk has stirred controversy by calling for the abolition of the European Union and the return of sovereignty to member states.

Elon Musk is at it again, the owner of X, the platform we formerly knew as Twitter, went online this Saturday and declared that the European Union should be scrapped. Yes, you heard that right.

In a post that has since gone viral, the world’s richest tech mogul wrote plainly: "The EU should be abolished, and sovereignty returned to individual countries, so that governments can better represent their people."

This isn't just talk for the sake of talk. Musk’s explosive comment comes at a very sensitive time for the EU.

The bloc is currently dealing with internal wrangling. From rising nationalist parties to fierce disagreements over migration, the question of how much power Brussels should hold is a hot topic.

But there's another layer to this story. Musk’s company, X, has been locking horns with EU regulators for months.

Since he took over, European officials have repeatedly accused X of not playing by the rules of the Digital Services Act (DSA). This is the EU’s big law for policing harmful content and misinformation online. Formal investigations are already underway, and hefty fines could follow.

So, many see Musk’s “abolish the EU” comment as a direct jab at the regulators giving his business a headache.

As expected, the post sparked instant drama online. Some users cheered him on, agreeing that the EU has become too powerful and distant from ordinary people.

Others shot back with strong criticism. One user, @OopsGuess, fired back saying if breaking up big unions is so good, then maybe the United States should also disband and let each state rule itself.

“You want the EU broken for ‘democracy,’ yet a continental federation under one capital sounds perfect when the capital is yours,” the user argued pointedly.

So far, top EU officials have kept quiet. No formal response has been issued to Musk’s latest provocation.

But one thing is clear: Elon Musk is using his massive platform to dive deep into global politics again. And his call to dismantle a major world power bloc is sure to fuel more debate about the influence of tech giants in our everyday lives.
