Elon Musk has warned of demographic replacement in the Belgian capital, citing a recent study that found that nearly three out of four minors in Brussels are of non-European origin.<\/p>\n

Approximately 72.9% of Brussels residents aged 0-17 are believed to have an immigrant background, Remix News reported earlier this week, citing data from StatBel, Belgium\u2019s official statistics office. According to the report, only 10.56% in this age group are classified as Belgians of exclusively Belgian origin. Overall, 78% of the city\u2019s population is now said to be of non-Belgian origin.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe capital city of Belgium is no longer Belgian,\u201d<\/em> Musk wrote on X on Friday, responding to a post by entrepreneur Mario Nawfal, who warned that the demographic transformation of Brussels will have \u201cprofound social consequences.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cThis did not happen by accident, but through deliberate policy choices made by political elites who dismissed warnings as \u2018myths,\u2019\u201d<\/em> Nawfal wrote, noting that \u201cfamily reunification has become the primary engine of mass settlement, accelerating demographic change far beyond public consent.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Belgian MP Filip Dewinter of the Vlaams Belang party has also described the trend in Brussels as \u201cpopulation replacement,\u201d<\/em> arguing the data supports the assertion that \u201cthe native European population is being replaced.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Similar trends have been noted in other European cities. In Frankfurt, Germany, for example, the local population has been a minority since at least 2015, with over half the city\u2019s population being recorded as having an immigrant background and with three-quarters of children under six falling into this category.<\/p>\n

The demographic shift in the EU capital comes as US President Donald Trump has warned that Europe faces \u201cthe real and stark prospect of civilizational erasure\u201d<\/em> due to migration and could become \u201cunrecognizable in 20 years or less.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Elon Musk had previously criticized mass migration, arguing it \u201cwill lead to the destruction of every country that permits it,\u201d<\/em> and has said leftist politicians are \u201cimporting a leftist voting bloc dependent on government subsidies.\u201d<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
