"In general, we should stay out of foreign wars, unless world peace is threatened," Musk wrote on X, commenting on Trump's remark.
Earlier in the day, US President-elect Donald Trump said that Washington should not interfere with the current escalation in Syria.
Syria is currently a "mess," but the United States must refrain from getting involved in it because it stands to gain nothing from it, the Republican wrote on X.
"The United States should have nothing to do with it. This is not our fight. Let it play out. Do not get involved!" Trump said.
The Hayat Tahrir al-Sham* terrorist group (formerly known as the Nusra Front*) and a number of other armed groups launched a large-scale operation against the Syrian government on November 29, advancing from the north of the northwestern region of Idlib towards the cities of Aleppo and Hama. A day later, Aleppo, Syria’s second largest city, came under the complete control of the militants for the first time since the beginning of the conflict in the country in 2011.
The Syrian army command announced on December 1 that the advance of the terrorists in the region of Hama had been stopped and government troops had launched a counteroffensive, taking control of a number of settlements previously seized by militants.
