Yesterday, after Elon Musk tweeted “Soros reminds me of Magneto,” journalist Brian Krassenstein replied that the fictional supervillain and real-life billionaire George Soros were both holocaust survivors and said, “Soros get’s [sic] attacked nonstop for his good intentions which some Americans think are bad merely because they disagree with his political affiliations.”
“You assume they are good intentions,” Elon replied. “They are not. He wants to erode the very fabric of civilization. Soros hates humanity.”
The outrage was immediate. Progressive media chimped out like we’ve rarely seen since the Trump years. For the middle-brow lib, the New Republic wrote, “Elon Musk Goes Full Antisemite After George Soros Dumps Tesla Shares.” For snootier readers, The Atlantic offered a solemn and foreboding “Elon Musk Among the Anti-Semites.” Additionally, Musk was condemned by the President of the Anti-Defamation League, Jonathan Greenblatt, and the Israeli Foreign Ministry accused him of driving up antisemitic rhetoric.
