    FTA: "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.

    > 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.

    Musk-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.

    That is... Suboptimal.

    Tesla 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.

    Yes 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?

    Soros dumps Tesla stock. Musk responds, "Soros hates humanity."

    Elon 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.

    This 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.
