"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.
The Tesla CEO’s most recent output displays a more consistent and explicit
engagement with white supremacist content and nativist activists than in the
past, however, lending them the imprimatur of the world’s richest person and
spreading their ideas to his audience of over 200 million followers. Beirich
said he appeared “deep into the world of white nationalism”."
