Elon Musk: "Brussels no longer Belgian"

Tesla CEO Elon Musk has said that the Belgian capital, Brussels, is no longer "Belgian,” following Immigration Barometer reports of a demographic shift in the city. 

His comment followed a post by Lebanese Australian influencer Mario Nawfal, which highlighted the shift in the Belgian capital, Caliber.Az reports.

According to Nawfal, official figures show that nearly 75% of children in Brussels now come from non-European backgrounds, a trend he argues has profound social implications for the city's future.

"Family reunification has become the primary engine of mass settlement, accelerating demographic change far beyond public consent," he wrote. 

Nawfal’s post referenced statistics indicating that the majority of minors in Brussels are of non-European origin.
