Musk says George Soros ‘hates humanity,’ compares him to Jewish supervillain
- IndoorPatio 3y agoSoros dumps Tesla stock. Musk responds, "Soros hates humanity."
- rbanffy 3y agoThat is... Suboptimal.

- Arnt 3y agoElon Musk just seems awesomer and awesomer. A spectacle. His work at Tesla and Space-X showed vision, persistence, focus, insights, … and now this? EDIT: The downvoters might do well to keep in mind that "awesome" does not mean "admirable". "Spectacle" also does not.
- rco8786 3y agoYea I agree. He seems like a literal different person since the Twitter takeover. That, or he's always been like this but done a good job of hiding it.
- Arnt 3y agoMaybe he's just done too many 16-hour days in a row. I don't personally agree with the direction of his work. Like, Mars? Why really? But the world would be a better place with more CEOs with longterm vision and persistence, and fewer twittertwits.
- uejfiweun 3y agoThis seems like more than a bit of a stretch to me. I don't really think of Magneto as a "Jewish supervillain". In fact I highly doubt almost anybody knew Magneto was Jewish. This attempt to paint this as an anti-Semitic attack seems totally unfair to me. Moreover, Soros is a guy from another country who pours money into the USA to get leftist DAs elected who don't prosecute crimes. Krasner, Boudin, Gascon, etc. He has openly admitted to this. I have an ENORMOUS amount of criticism of this that has literally NOTHING to do with Mr. Soros' religion, or background, or anything. Hiding behind this wall of "any criticism of me is racist" is a serious bullshit move IMO.
- ksherlock 3y agoApparently, that backstory was invented in 2008, 45 years after his debut (1963).
- uejfiweun 3y agoYeah I mean it's pretty obvious that WaPo political operatives just dug this unknown detail up in an attempt to smear Musk as an anti-Semite, because that's easier than actually trying to argue with his claims via fact and reason.
- greedo 3y agoIt's pretty clear from the movies that Magneto was a Holocaust survivor. I'm pretty confident that Musk knows this, and was clearly peeved that Soros had recently sold his T$LA holdings. The man's pettiness knows no bounds.

- fzeroracer 3y agoMusk was literally told about Magneto [1] and he decided to double down on it on a reply. Dunno how much more explicit Musk needs to make it. [1] https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1658294821679951872?s=20 https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1658294821679951872?s=20
- sillywalk 3y agoFTA: "he made his comments three days after Soros’s investment fund reported that it had sold all its stock in Tesla" I really, really dislike Musk.
- rsynnott 3y agoMusk-watching has become a bit like Trump-watching. "Surely this, finally, is the thing that will make his weird fans give up on him", about once a week. The secret appears to be that there is no level of arseholeishness, abhorrence, or just plain stupidity which will cause the faithful to forsake Dear Leader.
- TheLoafOfBread 3y agoYes the Jew! Are we back in 1930s? Is Musk going to lead American National Socialist party to get some living space in Canada, whilst building concentration camps for undesirables to cleanse USA of woke-humans?
- rsynnott 3y ago> Musk, who has gutted Twitter’s media relations department, could not immediately be reached for a response. WaPo, as a respectable broadsheet newspaper, delicately avoids mentioning that they got a poop emoji in response to their enquiries.
- IndoorPatio 3y agoTesla CEO Elon Musk attacked George Soros on Twitter Monday evening, days after Soros’s investment firm disclosed it had sold off its entire holdings of Tesla stock, in remarks that closely mirror right-wing conspiracy talking points about the billionaire. https://www.forbes.com/sites/siladityaray/2023/05/16/musk-fans-conspiracies-about-george-soros-after-billionaires-fund-dumps-all-tesla-stock/ https://www.forbes.com/sites/siladityaray/2023/05/16/musk-fa...
