Billionaire Tesla and SpaceX founder Elon Musk issued a dire warning to the Biden administration last week during a Twitter Spaces event that he believes the White House is “sleepwalking” into the next global war.

During the online event hosted by David Sacks and featuring 2024 GOP presidential contender Vivek Ramaswamy, Musk deadpanned that the U.S. “should try to avoid that if at all possible.”

“Let’s just say that in order for there to be a global conflict, a World War Three, you have to have two superpower alliances where one cannot easily defeat the other. And that is the case,” he said, noting that U.S. policy under President Joe Biden is driving Russia and China closer together.

“And that, I think, is a massive shift in thinking that most people do not understand. Most people on this call may understand, but most do not. I think we want to try to avoid that,” he added. “I hope it is not something that the tides of history are simply going to sweep us in that direction because there is a strong argument that these things are actually unavoidable and the tides of history will sweep us in that direction whether we like it or not. But we should try to avoid that if at all possible.”

He noted further: “Unfortunately, our policy has been forcing Russia and Iran to ally with China; it’s been forcing them. What choice have we given them?”
