Are extension methods and extension properties bad practice?

Question

So, if extension methods and extension properties are really static methods and properties. Static methods and properties and methods are not thread safe, therefore they should be avoided, therefore extension methods and extension properties are bad.

We are simply deceiving them because the codes we write will seem beautiful or clean, but from a performance point of view, this is not so.

It's true?
