‘Soros Hates Humanity’: Elon Musk Launches Personal Attack on Jewish Billionaire After He Sells Tesla Stock

Elon Musk went on the attack against George Soros after the Jewish billionaire and liberal mega-donor just so happened to liquidate his stock holdings with Tesla.

The Twitter CEO took to the platform on Monday night to offer what seemed like a random comparison between Soros and the Marvel comic book villain Magneto.

Musk’s tweet drew pushback from a Twitter commentator who noted that Soros and the X-Men character share the same backstory as Hungarian Jews that survived the Holocaust. They argued that Soros funding liberal political candidates and causes cannot be compared to Magneto’s extremist campaign to dominate humanity as the Nazis tried to do with the Jews.

“You assume they are good intentions,” Musk said in his rebuke to Brian Krassenstein. “They are not. He wants to erode the very fabric of civilization. Soros hates humanity.”

Musk’s tweet received broad condemnation from those who accused him of spewing common anti-Semitic tropes against Soros.

While Musk’s attack on Soros appeared to come out of nowhere, it coincidentally came within days of news that Soros sold off all his holdings of Musk’s EV company Tesla.

Soros Fund Management submitted a quarterly SEC filing last week showing that the billionaire’s investment firm dumped the $16 million worth of Tesla stock. The fund also sold off most of its shares in tech stocks that include Alphabet, Amazon and Rivian, a rival electric vehicle maker that rivals Tesla.

This wouldn’t be Musk’s first time taking shots at Soros — he joined the anti-Soros furor when conservatives connected him to Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg before the indictment of Donald Trump.
