Immigration: Elon Musk goes off the rails and claims that "Brussels is no longer Belgian

The richest man in the world has thrown a stone into the pond on his own social network. Reacting to a post by influencer Mario Nawfal, who claimed that nearly three-quarters of children living in Brussels would be of non-European origin, Elon Musk validated this statement with a laconic sentence: "The capital of Belgium is no longer Belgian".

This comment, seen by millions, is however based on data whose neutrality is strongly contested. The shared graph does not come from an official demographic institution, but from a platform called the "Immigration Barometer", a communication tool launched in 2020 by the Flemish far-right party Vlaams Belang, whose calculation methods often differ from the statistics of the Office of Migration.

This new provocation is part of an increasingly assumed ideological drift of the Tesla owner. For several months, Elon Musk has been multiplying frontal attacks against immigration policies in the West, echoing theories about population change. He regularly accuses the American and European left of orchestrating these migratory flows for electoral purposes, to build up a new reservoir of votes.

A few days before this statement on Belgium, he had already alarmed his subscribers by claiming that "Europe will soon no longer be Europe", advocating a revival of local birth rates and massive deportations as the only solutions to reverse the trend.
