Elon Musk has issued a major warning to US President Joe Biden as he warns America is “sleepwalking” towards World War Three.

The 52-year-old, who is consistently airing his political views on social media, suggested Biden’s foreign policy agenda was pushing Moscow to align with Tehran and Beijing.


Musk said: “I think we are sleepwalking our way into World War Three.”

He continued: “US policy has been forcing Russia to ally with Iran and China.”

The tech billionaire added: “We need to figure out peace in Ukraine, and I think we need to restore normal relations with Russia.

“World War Three is a civilizational risk that we may not recover from.

“So we need to prioritize avoiding World War III, that’s what actually matters.

“And not what happened in World War I and have a regional conflict rapidly become a global conflict.

Musk previously put forward a proposal to end Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

It would have handed large swathes of Ukrainian land to Russia.

Musk’s proposal was not warmly received in Kyiv, with Ukrainian ambassador to Brazil Andrii Melnyk saying: “Fuck off is my very diplomatic reply to you.”

The 52-year-old hit the headlines yet again after offering to pay Wikipedia’s owners $1billion to change its name to “D***ipedia”.

Musk made the jokey offer after accusing the website of showing its “non-trivial left-wing bias”.

He added: “Have you ever wondered why the Wikimedia Foundation wants so much money?

“It certainly isn't needed to operate Wikipedia.

“You can literally fit a copy of the entire text on your phone!

“So, what's the money for? Inquiring minds want to know...”
