Radoslaw Sikorski has mocked the tech mogul’s space ambitions, after the latter called for the bloc to be abolished on X

Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski has told Elon Musk to “go to Mars” after the billionaire called for the abolition of the European Union.

Sikorski was responding to criticism posted by the American tech entrepreneur on X. Musk wrote on Saturday that the EU should be dismantled and that sovereignty should return to member states “so that governments can better represent their people.” He later added, “How long before the EU is gone?” and used the hashtag #AbolishTheEU.

Musk’s comments followed a decision by the European Commission to fine X €120 million ($130 million) under the Digital Services Act, claiming the platform had failed to meet transparency rules for ads and user accounts. Musk has repeatedly criticized EU policies, calling them overly restrictive and harmful to free speech. Replying on Sunday, Sikorski said: “Go to Mars. There’s no censorship of Nazi salutes there.”

Sikorski appeared to reference an incident in January 2025 during US President Donald Trump’s inauguration parade. Musk was seen making a gesture similar to the Roman salute, which involves extending the right arm outward with an open palm. The motion has been compared to the Nazi salute, which is banned in several countries including Russia.
