US Reacts to Elon Musk’s Reaction for India

 

The United States has expressed support for reforms to the United Nations Security Council (UNSC), including India’s bid for a permanent seat. This aligns with Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s statement that India’s exclusion from the UNSC is “absurd.” US State Department Principal Deputy Spokesperson Vedant Patel stated that the US supports reforms to UN institutions, including the Security Council, to make them more reflective of the contemporary world. This stance echoes President Biden’s and Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s previous comments, emphasizing the need for a reformed UNSC.

Elon Musk’s advocacy for India’s permanent seat at the UNSC adds weight to the growing international support for reform. He criticized the reluctance of powerful nations to relinquish their excess power, highlighting India’s absence from the Security Council despite being the world’s most populous country. He also emphasized the need for Africa to have a permanent seat, reflecting broader calls for representation from the developing world.

India’s quest for a permanent seat on the UNSC is rooted in its desire to better represent the interests of the developing world. The nation has garnered significant international backing for its bid, including support from the US and other nations. External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar highlighted the growing global support for India’s UNSC bid, emphasizing the need to seize opportunities that are not readily given.
