Elon Musk recently shared a social media post urging “White solidarity.”
On Thursday, Jan. 8, Musk reposted a message on X that said, “If White men become a minority, we will be slaughtered.”
The post went on to argue that if “non-Whites openly hate White men” while White men remain a collective majority, they would become “1000x times more hostile and cruel” if they gained majority status. It concluded by claiming, “White solidarity is the only way to survive.”
In his repost, Musk added the “100” emoji, which appeared to signal agreement with the message.
Musk’s repost arrives nearly a year after he drew criticism for making a controversial one-handed gesture during a speech at President Donald Trump’s inauguration festivities on Jan. 20, 2025.
Many observers interpreted the gesture as an imitation of the Nazi salute associated with Adolf Hitler (illegal in some countries, including Germany). Supporters — including some Jewish groups — disputed that characterization, saying it was not Musk’s intent.
At the time, the former Trump adviser responded on X by dismissing the backlash as a politically motivated attack.
“Frankly, they need better dirty tricks. The ‘everyone is Hitler’ attack is sooo tired,” he wrote, adding a sleeping emoji.
However, just over a month later, Musk made multiple Nazi references while discussing the controversy in an interview on The Joe Rogan Experience podcast.
“I did not see it coming,” the tech billionaire, 54, said, combining “not” and “see” to sound like “Nazi.” He also added that “people will Goebbels anything down,” referencing Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels.
Musk also appeared to have a falling out with the Trump administration after leaving his role as head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) when his special government employee contract ended on May 30, 2025.
His X feed later featured sharp criticism of the Trump White House, particularly the president’s “Big Beautiful Bill,” which Musk called “a disgusting abomination.”
These days, however, the Tesla CEO appears to be echoing several top Trump-aligned talking points. He has recently shared dozens of posts about the alleged fraud in Minnesota, the ICE shooting death of Renee Nicole Good, and the conspiracy theory that Democrats support paying immigrants to come to the U.S. and vote liberally.
On Thursday, he also updated his pinned tweet to share a video from Canadian professor Gad Saad, in which Saad laid out his plan for “how to save the West.”
Saad said, in part, “In order for the West to win this civilizational battle, it must proudly and unequivocally defend Western values,… recognize that all cultures are not equal, recognize that all religious beliefs are not equally consistent with Western values, recognize that all immigrants are not equally likely to assimilate and adopt Western values.”
