The issue is what replacement means, no? The racist tone of it comes from "replacement of white people" being an endeavour conspired by the State to dislodge white people, instead of a natural state of affairs where immigrants have a higher fertility rate than the native population. Characterising such state of affairs as "the end of civilisation" then becomes extremely racist.

Discourse does not exist in a vacuum, replacement has a semantic meaning in this discourse apart from the literal one...

Elon Musk is saying this openly on twitter. It’s not racist. It’s mainstream discussion.

Those are not opposites, it can be a racist mainstream discussion. What does Elon Musk have to do with the argument?

So we’ve entered the dark times where if Elon says something it’s validated as not racist and completely sane.
