Musk has lost it and has attacked George Soros in part because Soros dumped his Tesla stock. Musk is unhinged

Elon Musk made a series of attacks on George Soros overnight, tweeting that the Jewish-born investor and liberal philanthropist, who often is subject to virulent antisemitic conspiracy theories, hates humanity and wants to erode the very fabric of civilization.
Musk, who has overseen an increase of antisemitism and other hate speech on Twitter since he bought the social media platform last year, did not give a reason for singling out Soros. But he made his comments three days after Soross investment fund reported that it had sold all its stock in Tesla, the electric carmaker that Musk also runs......
His tweets were condemned Tuesday morning by Jonathan Greenblatt, chief executive of the Anti-Defamation League, which has catalogued similar conspiracy theories that hold Soros wants to control the world.
Soros often is held up by the far-right, using antisemitic tropes, as the source of the worlds problems, Greenblatt wrote on Twitter. To see Elon Musk, regardless of his intent, feed this segment comparing him to a Jewish supervillain, claiming Soros hates humanity is not just distressing, its dangerous: it will embolden extremists who already contrive anti-Jewish conspiracies and have tried to attack Soros and Jewish communities as a result.

the fact that this man is all hype and a conman. Who often communicates in word salad.
