McGregor launched a scathing critique, accusing Irish leaders of prioritizing EU interests over their citizens. 'The Notorious' alleged that Ireland’s government operates subserviently to the EU. He also suggested that it allegedly fails to serve the people of Ireland.

Weighing in on Musk's X post, McGregor wrote:

"Isn't it just absolutely preposterous, Elon! Our government, the government of Ireland, serves the people of Ireland today ZERO! Subservients to a foreign union who could not care one flying iota about the state of our country and its inhabitants. Errand boys for the EU is what our government elite have long become."

He added:

"It is time for real change, Ireland! Take this note back to the union from me, errand boys... GOD BLESS AMERICA!"

Musk and McGregor's comments coincide with broader discussions about the shifting geopolitical landscape between the EU and the United States. While the two entities once had closely aligned economic and security interests, reports suggest recent years have seen divergences, particularly in defense spending and trade priorities.
