Charity staff receive death threats after Elon Musk shares video made by Welsh schoolgirls

The head of the Welsh Refugee Council has said her staff have been "harassed" and "threatened" after Elon Musk, the social media boss and world's richest man, had shared a post featuring claims about the charity. Mr Musk, the owner of Tesla and X as well as a close associate of President-elect Donald Trump, has 212m followers on the social media channel he owns.

Mr Musk shared a post which suggested videos of girls were being used to "entice" migrants to the UK. The video, from 2023, was made as a school project and involved a group of pupils explaining why they thought Wales was a welcoming country for refugees and discussing the work of the charity. They say: "We welcome anyone and everyone" and speak about the support offered by the Welsh Refugee Council including English classes and help applying for benefits or housing. The pupils then share some examples of the Welsh language. The post, which was shared by an account and reposted by Musk, accused the charity of "using 12-year-old girls… to entice migrant men to come to Wales" and has been viewed more than 5.7m times.
