Elon Musk attacks George Soros on Twitter over Tesla shares liquidation

Tesla founder Elon Musk dislikes the fact that George Soros has now liquidated his last holding of Tesla shares. In a filing with the US Financial Supervisory Authority, it appears that one of Soros’ investment funds has sold all its Tesla shares for 16 million dollars. Soros bought the Tesla shares last year and has previously been positive about Musk’s battery and electric car company. Tesla shares have almost halved in value since the peak in September last year.

Attack on Twitter

On his own platform Twitter, he comes up with a personal attack on the 92-year-old investor legend.

Musk first compares Soros to the evil cartoon character Magneto, before claiming that Soros hates humanity and wants to destroy the entire civilization.

As usual, Musk gets the full support of his faithful keyboard warriors who support the controversial billionaire through thick and thin. Musk’s followers are now flooding the web and social media with the wildest conspiracy theories about Soros. Soros for a number of years has been the target and whipping boy for many on the far right politically, and ditto conspiracies far on the left, as well as a cocktail of vaccine opponents, anti-Semites and holocaust deniers, just to name a few.

Soros is Jewish and born in Hungary, but he managed to avoid the Nazi extermination camps as a child. After the war, he emigrated first to England, and then to the United States. He became truly legendary in the financial world when, during the currency turmoil of 1992, he earned a billion dollars when the British pound collapsed. He was later nicknamed “the Man who broke the Pound”.

For his part, Soros has largely chosen not to directly confront his billionaire colleague. But he has posted a message on Twitter that the rumors that he had a heart attack are false and that he is healthy and alive.

The two billionaires are among the world’s richest people. Soros is also known as a philanthropist and gives large amounts to the fight for democracy and human rights.
