white supremacy
Pop star Grimes brushed off accusations that she's a "Nazi" after sharing that she's "proud of white culture" in a post on X, the social media network formerly known as Twitter that is owned by her ex-partner, the billionaire Elon Musk.
In her post, which did not appear to be a response to anything specific, Grimes noted that she is "happily proud of white culture," adding:
"But every day I think fondly of the brown king Cyrus the Great who invented the first ever empire, and the Japanese icon Murasaki Shikibu who wrote the first novel ever."
"What if humans just loved each other? History teaches us that we have all been, and always will be – great.”

Grimes later described herself as a "human supremacist" when called out by one X user for sharing "white supremacist" ideology.
After another person urged her to delete the post, she responded that she doesn't "care":
"I will ride always for the beauty and ingenuity of all humans. It is only those who refuse to look at history who think anyone superior or inferior and I will happily die on this hill."

Her comments and justifications exposed her to significant criticism.
Grimes' post came just two weeks after Musk—the father of her three children—was widely criticized after he told attendees at the Atreju Festival in Rome, Italy, that the "culture of Italy, Japan and France will disappear" if those nations don't reverse their low birth rates.
Musk attended the event, which was hosted by the far-right Brothers of Italy party of Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, over the weekend, using it as an opportunity to push replacement theory, a conspiracy theory that states White European populations and their descendants are being demographically and culturally replaced with non-European peoples.
His remarks were applauded by the event's far-right attendees, who have voiced concerns about Italy having one of the lowest birth rates in the world.
