Elon Musk has been on a social media posting spree in recent days, raising eyebrows with highly controversial posts and focusing his attention on what he sees as a brewing demographic crisis in Europe.
As part of his many, many posts, Musk went so far as to declare, “Remigration is the only way.”
Musk made the post in reply to a far-right, anti-immigrant British activist, Steve Laws. Laws wrote on X, “Go anywhere in the UK and look around, you’ll just see foreigners everywhere. It’s truly sickening the damage that has been done to our nation and our people. We have to stop immigration and start remigration before we can even begin to reverse the damage that has been done.”
“Remigration” has long been a controversial term connected to far-right parties in Europe, including Germany’s Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) – which Musk endorsed in the last election.
The BBC reported on the AfD leadership’s embrace of the term ahead of the country’s election this past February, noting it’s a “buzzword in Europe’s far-right, some claim legal residents wouldn’t be forced to leave. Critics say ‘remigration’ is simply a euphemism for an overtly racist mass deportation plan.”
Musk, of course, is an immigrant to the United States, having been born in South Africa.
Many of Musk’s other posts in the last few days have focused on low birth rates in Europe, alleged sexual abuse of young women by migrants, and attacking the trans community.
“Low birth rate is the number one threat to the West, followed closely by migration. There will be no West if this continues,” wrote Musk — a former close ally of President Donald Trump.
He also endorsed the new far-right party, Advance UK, which is an offshoot of Nigel Farage’s Reform Party and counts notorious far-right activist Tommy Robinson as a member. “Farage is weak, runny sauce. He won’t let Reform even stand up for their own people, eg punishing their Epping member, and he will change nothing of significance politically. Go with @_AdvanceUK, Ben and Tommy for the real change that’s needed to save Britain!” Musk wrote on X.
