Musk retweeted and commented "Wow" on a post highlighting that 31% of the EU budget is allocated to agricultural subsidies, while defense accounts for only 1.2% and border security 2%. This means agricultural subsidies are 25 times the defense budget and 15 times the border budget. The original author of the tweet believes that in the face of land war on Europe's eastern flank and years of uncontrolled immigration, Europe's response is a vast welfare machine, with actual security neglected and unprepared for the next decade.
