Billionaire Elon Musk slammed the absence of India as a permanent member in the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) as "absurd" and called for a revamp of the council's structure. Musk criticized the UNSC's failure to represent the world's most populous nations adequately. He pointed out that India, despite being Earth's most populous country, lacks a permanent seat, terming it absurd. Musk also voiced support for Africa collectively having a permanent UNSC membership. India has long sought a permanent seat, but China's resistance, backed by its veto power, has been a hurdle. Other permanent members like the US and France support India's candidacy.
