Elon Musk says "Whites are a rapidly dying minority" about white demographic decline

An article in Middle East Eye criticizes Elon Musk as a far-right political actor, pointing to a recent Economist interview in which he faced questions about anti-Muslim views and support for the far right. The piece focuses on a January post on X in which Musk described white people's demographic situation, a remark that drew millions of views and likes. According to the article, Musk has promoted a conspiracy theory that demographic change will displace white people, urged exceptionally intelligent people to have more children, financed Donald Trump's campaign, endorsed European far-right parties, and restored X accounts of prominent far-right figures. It argues that his use of the platform helps normalize racial antagonism and narratives about white people losing standing, making his personal intent less important than his political influence.
