On May 17, the world’s richest man, and free-speech advocate, Elon Musk, stunned the world when he tweeted about the evil Democrat-Marxist Party mega-funder George Soros, who he referred to as Marvel Comics supervillain “Magneto.”
Soros reminds me of Magneto, he tweeted.
Soros reminds me of Magneto

When Musk was attacked for openly criticizing the dirty billionaire George Soros, he mockingly tweeted, “I’d like to apologize for this post,” and then added, “It was really unfair to Magneto.”

When Thomas Matthew chimed in, saying, “Magneto is waaaaaaaaaaay cooler,” Musk responded with “Fair point” and a laughing emoji.
Fair point 😂

Brian Krassenstein, who is one of the loudest pro-Marxist-Democrat Party voices on Twitter, responded by attempting to turn Soros into a victim by suggesting Musk’s statement was anti-Semitic by pointing out that Magneto was a Holocaust survivor, and falsely suggesting Soros has “good intentions” that are simply misunderstood, Musk responded with, “You assume they are good intentions. They are not.” He continued, “He wants to erode the very fabric of civilization. Soros hates humanity.”
You assume they are good intentions. They are not. He wants to erode the very fabric of civilization. Soros hates humanity.

Almost immediately after his tweets about Soros went viral, Musk was interviewed by CNBC’s David Faber, who attempted to shame him for sharing his thoughts about Soros. “Why share it [his tweet that talked about his disdain for George Soros] when people who buy Teslas may not agree with you? Advertisers on Twitter may not agree with you,” Faber asked Musk, as he almost begged him to retract his tweets.
Musk explained that in America, we still have free speech and that he was simply speaking his mind, which he’s still allowed to do. “I’ll say what I want, and if the consequence of that is losing money, so be it,” Musk boldly explained.

The Left, who can’t stand to have their super-villain being properly identified by the world’s richest man, quickly turned Musk’s comments into an “anti-Semitic” attack on the dirty billionaire. Liberal attorney Alan Dershowitz, who is Jewish, came to the defense of Musk in a Wall Street Journal Op-ed.
Here is a portion of what Dershowitz wrote in the Wall Street Journal in defense of Musk’s assessment of the evil supervillain:
Elon Musk has been accused of anti-Semitism because of his criticism and mockery of George Soros. Mr. Soros is Jewish; Mr. Musk isn’t. But Mr. Musk stands falsely accused. Mr. Soros is an active participant in politics, and his Jewishness shouldn’t shield him from criticism.
Further, no single person has done more to damage Israel’s standing in the world, especially among so-called progressives, than George Soros. His financial support has multiplied the influence of the two major organizations that have done the most to shift the left-wing paradigm against Israel.
Despite its claim to be a progressive pro-Israel and pro-Palestinian organization, J Street has done much to turn most progressive and some liberal Democrats—including members of Congress, academics, and media figures—against Israel. Last year Haaretz reported that Mr. Soros contributed $1 million to J Street’s super PAC, “20 times larger than any previous donation J Street Action Fund received.”
I’m not the only Jewish American to criticize Mr. Soros. In a January article for the Jewish News Service, Farley Weiss, a former president of the National Council of Young Israel, wrote: “Soros’s defenders try to shut down criticism of the billionaire by claiming it is antisemitic because Soros himself is Jewish. But no one has financed more destructive attacks on Israel and the American Jewish community than Soros.”
Amichai Chikli, whose bio on Twitter reads: The Minister of Diaspora and the fight against anti-Semitism and Minister of Social Equality. Founder of the Midrash for Zionist Leadership also defended Elon Musk and his remarks directed at the billionaire mega-Democrat-Marxist Party funder George Soros:
As Israel’s minister who's entrusted on combating anti-Semitism, I would like to clarify that the Israeli government and the vast majority of Israeli citizens see Elon Musk as an amazing entrepreneur and a role model. Criticism of Soros – who finances the most hostile…

Mr. Chikli also shared his support for liberal Harvard Law School Professor Emeritus Alan Dershowitz:
“No single person has done more to damage Israel’s standing in the world, especially among so-called progressives, than George Soros.”
Thank you Professor Dershowitz

He followed up his tweet with a reminder that he’s not the only prominent Jewish voice that has condemned George Soros.
“I’m not the only Jewish American to criticize Mr. Soros. In a January article for the Jewish News Service, Farley Weiss wrote: “Soros’s defenders try to shut down criticism of the billionaire by claiming it is antisemitic because Soros himself is Jewish. But no one has financed more destructive attacks on Israel and the American Jewish community than Soros.”
Chikli’s tweet was met with support from other prominent Jews and organizations, like B’nai Brith Canada, who shared an article written by DC Leaks that exposed George Soros’ funding of anti-Semitic groups and organizations that advocate for the boycott of Israel:
DCLeaks.com revealed that Soros, a business mogul of Hungarian-Jewish heritage, has a history of funding anti-Israel groups. Soros founded and continues to fund the following groups: PILI Foundation, Mada al-Carmel, The Galilee Society, Adalah, Al-Tufula Center, the New Israel Fund, Women Against Violence, Kayan-Feminist Organization, Ma’an, Injaz, Sidreh, Lakiya, Baladna, Arab Association for Human Rights, the Mossawa Center, National Committee of Heads of Arab Local Authorities in Israel, and Molad. All of these groups are anti-Israel and support the boycott and sanctions movement against the Jewish State. Some of these groups go so far as to claim that Israel does not have the right to exist, nor do the Jewish people have a right to reside there.
Tablet reported that these groups had received huge sums of money from Soros’ foundation. For example, Adalah, a group that accuses Israel of war crimes as well as advocates for world powers to sever diplomatic ties with the Jewish State, has received $2,688,561 in 14 grants since 2001.
I’lam, a Palestinian media center, accused Israel of ethnic cleansing multiple times. It campaigns to convince people that the Jewish State does not have the right to exist. The Open Society Foundation has provided this group with $1,083,000 in nine grants since 2003.
The newest group that has received funding from Soros is the Black Lives Matter movement. The United States-based movement is not primarily anti-Israel; on its website, it describes its movement as a campaign “for a world where Black lives are no longer systematically and intentionally targeted for demise.” Recently, the Black Lives Matter movement expanded its campaign platform to endorse the boycott and sanctions movement against Israel. Soros has reportedly provided the movement with $650, 000 to be used for technical assistance.
There are so many examples that point to the truth about Elon Musk’s statement about George Soros, including this vintage clip of the far-left billionaire gloating about how easy it is to capitalize on the collapse of the economy in nations around the world in this instance, he cites Poland as an example.
George Soros has been planning this for decades. Crash the economy… then take control with a fraction of the resources required to take over a strong economy and implement socialism! pic.twitter.com/lRoQovzMHf
