Elon Musk, Tesla CEO, criticized the United Nations (UN) structure, describing it as outdated and calling for a revision. He highlighted the absence of India, the most populous country globally, from the list of permanent members of the UN Security Council (UNSC) as “absurd.” Musk’s comments came after UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres expressed concern about the lack of any African nation as a permanent UNSC member.
