Jewish-born investor and liberal philanthropist, who often is subject to virulent anti-Semitic 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 Soros’s investment fund reported that it had sold all its stock in Tesla, the electric carmaker that Musk also runs.

And Musk seemed to specifically reference the 92-year-old Holocaust survivor’s background by comparing Soros to Magneto — a Jewish supervillain who “fights to help mutants replace humans as the world’s dominant species,” as Marvel’s official character description puts it.

“Soros reminds me of Magneto,” Musk posted at 10 p.m. Monday, apropos of nothing. The tweet triggered a flood of replies comparing Soros to various symbols of evil, recalling long-standing conspiracy theories that paint him as a godlike billionaire Jew who uses his philanthropic foundations to flood Europe with refugees and corrupt American politics.

Will advertisers stick around?

1. Musk, you antisemitic, racist, bigoted POS.

[peppertree]

17. No matter how much people show him, he just will Nazi it

But what with all that alcohol, he will Nazi anything anymore.

[TheBlackAdder]

21. One Jewish guy Musk seems to have liked -- Jeffrey Epstein

[JohnSJ]

23. I doubt it was because epstein was Jewish.

[Obvious85]

2. He has destroyed his brand

Tesla, Twitter, anything else he touches withers and lose relevance

[NullTuples]

18. Emperor's new clothes - this is who he's always been. He was just really good at selling an image.

Kinda makes me wonder about other such people in the last 30-40 years, ones who everyone touted as "geniuses" despite them doing little more than selling a brand. That was certainly Trump's strength as well.

[Initech]

3. I'm so sick of right wing conspiracy theory bullshit I could puke.

[DURHAM D]

4. Musk needs to eat shit and die.

[DonCoquixote]

5. The ironic thing is

In current marvel, the xmen have become corrupted, and are trying to make a new homeland in space. Gee, sound like what Musk is doing.

[liberalmuse]

6. Soros was divesting anyway.

But leave it to this pathetic little man to read a headline and publicly overreact before gathering all the facts. We need to do better, America and stop allowing thin-skinned sociopaths to freely trumpet their dangerous and reactionary nonsense over our airwaves.

[DBoon]

7. Soros is a classic 19th century Liberal

Since when has support for an open society become evil?

[Bayard]

9. Since rethuglicans came to power,

And fascists are in charge.

Sit down and shut up, Elon!

[usonian]

12. He's Jewish. Period.

F nazi scum.

[pwb]

8. What doe he think of Adelson?

No problem eh?

[Probatim]

10. Remarkable huh?

He probably likes most conservative billionaires, even foreign ones, who are bent on destroying the fabric of society - see Rupert Murdoch as the best example.

[IronLionZion]

11. He couldn't think of any apartheid era supervillains?

Musk is longing for the good old days when minorities knew their place in society.

[Locrian]

13. hilarious projection

coming from the guy who is literarily the embodiment of every James Bond villan character.

[Kennah]

14. Sieg Heil much, Eloon?

[Warpy]

15. Who the fuck is Elon listening to these days?

He's always been a clueless jerk, but this is seriously deranged.

Poor old Soros. He's given away more than half his billions, but alas, he's helped many countries but not this one. Had he spent more wisely, endowing liberal think tanks and other institutions here, we might have a somewhat different country, the Koch and Murdoch megaphones muted by competition.

He's 92 years old. Soon, they're going to have to find another bogeyman to despise and blame for all their own failings.

[erronis]

30. Who the fuck is listening to Elon nowadays?

I know - too many posts here on DU are just copies of twit links. And too many politicians/influencers think it the right place (most of them have no idea how this all works.)

I do my best not to click on these regurgitations of nonsense.

[Warpy]

32. I rarely click on Twit links

but this post had text and a link to the WaPo, to which I subscribe.

Elon seems perilously close to needing an intervention, something that usually comes from a BoD and is extremely unpleasant.

[Hekate]

45. "He's 92 years old." But they'll always have The Jews to despise with reliable tropes of bigotry...

I was first astonished at how easily anti-Semitism became part of US public discourse in this Trump era, and am now just soul-sickened.

Musk, like Trump, knows no shame, and is just a now-toxic brand. But he sullies this country every day.

[Warpy]

50. Yeah, I know, "the JOOZ"

but at least we'll get to ask "which ones?"

Musk achieved his greatest success when he stayed in the background, which is one reason I wonder who the fuck he's been listening to. It's obviously some marketing idiot who talks about "packaging" him into the next TFG.

Oh, well. Maybe he'll sink Twitter while Twitter sinks him.

[J_William_Ryan]

16. Such is the hateful, bigoted right.

[Zorro]

19. Musk has become the Henry Ford of this era

[kysrsoze]

20. Gotta call out them Jews to show your right-wing bona fides, Elon. Fucking asshole.

I have to admit I was wrong - somehow I didn't see him pulling the Jew card. I REALLY hope he ends up being ousted from SpaceX and Tesla, and this would be a valid reason. He's nothing but a thin-skinned manchild.

[MayReasonRule]

53. I Beg To Differ... Elon Is A FASCIST, Thin-Skinned Manchild. So There's That...

[LudwigPastorius]

22. We all know Elon Musk is a piece of shit, but...

he seems intent on proving it every single day.

[calimary]

24. They all target George Soros.

One-trick ponies. Tiresome.

[dembotoz]

27. I have been told many times i am employed by soros...still waiting for the first check

cmon george....i could use some cash...

[ShazzieB]

33. I know, me, too!

Come on, man, cough up already! It's been over 6 years since I made that trip to Washington for the women's March! What are you waiting for?

[ExWhoDoesntCare]

25. The gormless Nazi git

Doesn't get that he isn't entitled to other people's money, no matter how many childish temper tantrums he throws.

But if he insists on acting like a child, well, lone skum, go to your room until you learn how to behave like a decent human being.

And get stuffed all the way there.

[Earth-shine]

26. Those Jewish space lasers must be expensive. Good thing we have Soros.

At times, George Soros probably finds it amusing about things, like Magneto superpowers, that are attributed to him.

[hadEnuf]

28. Musk reminds me of Himmler.

POS racist trying to incite other racists.

[TeamProg]

29. Musk's life isn't going all that well. nt

[malthaussen]

31. Dude will be running for President next... oh, wait.

Poor guy can't do that.

-- Mal

[judesedit]

34. Soros should sue him and keep suing him. He has the money

And it would be a diversion for Muskrat. Would keep his mind off of destroying the country for a minute.

[NullTuples]

35. OT question for comic fans: are they different from the movies about Magneto?

In the movies, I got the impression Magneto was filling the role of a Holocaust survivor that wasn't going to let it happen again. The first time was because he was a Jew, the second in modern times, because he was a mutant. The crux of one of the early movies in the 00's or so was that mutants were potentially going to be eliminated, yes?

[Aviation Pro]

41. Yeah, ole Eloon is basically Trask

But he thinks he's Tony Stark.

[MissMillie]

36. When I saw the tweet, my jaw dropped

I still can't come up with the words to describe my thoughts.

Gobsmacked...

[William Seger]

37. Funny how someone who really does want to erode the very fabric of (western) civilization...

... i.e. Putin, strictly supports Republicans -- or really, anything that creates chaos, which certainly includes our right-wing propagandists and now Musk himself.

[3825-87867]

38. Apartheid seems to run deep in some...

but it's rising to the surface now.

You may take the kid out of apartheid but evidently you can't take the apartheid out of some kids.

[William Seger]

39. When you're raised as a bigot, it's not easy to overcome

... but the first step is to want to.

[Aviation Pro]

40. For a 'billionaire' I'm kind of surprised

That the fucking, non-degreed shitbag knows the Magneto storyline.

Shouldn't you be leading the effort to discover the pain points of your exploding rocket and destroyed launch pad, fuckturd?

[electric_blue68]

42. Oh, STFU Eloon! You could "just" call him a "supervillain", but noooo you have to toss in "Jewish".

Anti-semetic much? Besides your other 'ists".

[toroyoung]

48. here's a Jerusaln Poder headline from 6 month ago

Elon Musk tweets meme featuring Nazi imagery

https://m.jpost.com/diaspora/antisemitism/article-721724

This isn't the first time.

[Xipe Totec]

43. Elon is getting way too musky. nt

[DinahMoeHum]

44. "Apartheid Clyde" at it again??

[Oneironaut]

46. George Soros is basically the Jewish Legion of Doom.

He’s hatching dastardly plans to take over the world!


/s If it wasn’t obvious.

[Carlitos Brigante]

47. He really is this dumb and simple minded. nt

[SpamWyzer]

49. Eloony Muskrat

is a delusional piece of excrement who thinks being born rich is the same as working for a living. He imagines himself a genius, just like the black NAZI clothing guy. If Jews are so dangerous, why haven't they killed this fucking scumbag? I wish all the misery possible on such a fecal reject. George Soros, on the other hand, promotes democracy in the world. I can support that. As for Muskrat, I know a dirty NAZI when I hear one. ELON MUSK IS A NAZI.

[fleabiscuit]

51. Musk is hate speech.

[Hekate]

54. Um. Did you forget your sarcasm smiley, MayReasonRule?

[Jean Genie]

55. Soros attack #50000000000000 - and growing!

Soros might remind you of Magneto, Elon, but YOU remind me of "Spoiled Brat Self-Important Whiny Toddler-Man."

So what's your super power, other than making batteries, and babies? Oh ... bloviating, right?

[Joinfortmill]

56. Boycott anything Musk owns...

We need some techies to get us a viable alternative to twitter and fast.

[MFM008]

57. Soros needs to

Bitch slap that punk in court .

[Sessuch]

58. Reincarnation

Elon is the 21st century Henry Ford.

[TexasBushwhacker]

59. Never forget, Musk is from South Africa n/t
