Peace between Elon Musk and George Soros comes to an end as tensions rise. Soros Fund Management (SFM), through its hedge fund, had become one of the shareholders of Tesla last year. However, SFM recently revealed in a regulatory filing that it had liquidated all its Tesla shares. Shortly after this disclosure, Musk launched a series of attacks against Soros, comparing him to a Jewish supervillain from Marvel Comics. Musk also accused Soros of influencing district attorney elections to further his own interests. Civil rights groups criticized Musk’s remarks.
You assume they are good intentions. They are not. He wants to erode the very fabric of civilization. Soros hates humanity.

Soros finally responded to Musk’s invectives in an interview with The Wall Street Journal. He stated that he often becomes an easy target for blame when things go wrong. In the same interview, Soros announced his decision to step down and hand over control to his 37-year-old son, Alexander Soros, who is known as Alex. Alex expressed his intention to focus on causes related to voting and abortion rights, gender equity, and continue supporting left-leaning politicians.
