"Elon Musk's longtime fixation on a white racial majority is intensifying. The richest man in the world posted about how the white race was under threat, made allusions to race science or promoted anti-immigrant conspiracy content on 26 out of 31 days in January, according to the Guardian's analysis of his social media output. The posts, made on his platform X, reflect a renewed embrace of what extremism experts describe as white supremacist material."
"Whites are a rapidly dying minority, Musk said on 22 January, a short time before taking the stage at the World Economic Forum in Davos, while reposting an Irish anti-immigrant influencer's video about demographic change. Musk's posts included him repeatedly claiming white people face systemic discrimination, endorsing the conspiracy that there is an ongoing genocide against white people in countries around the world and promoting a claim that white people would be slaughtered by non-whites if they become a demographic minority."
"If you stripped Elon Musk's name off of these things and showed them to me, I would think that this was a white supremacist, said Heidi Beirich, co-founder of the Global Project Against Extremism, who reviewed a selection of the posts. Musk has for years promoted anti-immigrant and far-right content in his posts, as well as endorsed rightwing activists and political parties around the globe."
Elon Musk posted content on his platform X in January that repeatedly framed white people as under threat, mixing allusions to race science with anti-immigrant conspiracy theories on 26 of 31 days. He called whites a rapidly dying minority, reposted an Irish anti-immigrant influencer about demographic change, and claimed systemic discrimination against white conservatives. He endorsed a conspiracy of an ongoing genocide against white people and promoted assertions that whites would be slaughtered by non-whites if they became a demographic minority. Extremism experts and Heidi Beirich identified the posts as white supremacist, noting that the content amplifies nativist activists to over 200 million followers.
