From mogul to Magneto: Why Musk compared George Soros to a Marvel villain

Apparently, disembarking from one of the flagship companies of Elon Musk may result in harsh comments from billionaire owner of Twitter, Tesla and SpaceX against any investor who abandons it, even the stature of George Soros himself

The tycoon George Soros has sold the shares he had in the electric vehicle company Tesla, founded by Elon Musk, which has led shortly after that Musk launched a hostile Twitter campaign against him, accusing him of “hate humanity.”

The Soros Management Fund had a $16 million package of Tesla shares, which it bought last year, and disposed of them last Friday, according to the fund’s own documentation that was released this week.

No mention of sale Musk tweeted today that Soros (92) reminded him of magneta Marvel villain, without the comparison being clear at first, until a user who was chatting with Musk alluded to Magneto’s supposed past as holocaust survivorlike Soros himself.

Musk then responded: “You are assuming that (Soros’s) are well intentioned. Well they are not. He wants to undermine the fabric of civilization. Soros hates Humanity“, wrote.

George Sorosa capitalist sympathetic to social democracy, has become the black beast of the hardest American right, and is usually one of the favorite targets of Donald Trump, who accuses him of having bought a good part of the media.

Muskwhich in recent times has been turning more and more to the right, thus embraces hatred against Soros, who for his part has not responded to the invectives of the billionaire owner of Twitter.

From a financial point of view, the sale of shares by the Soros fund does not seem to have affected the price of Tesla shares, which closed today with a rise of 0.10% in a weak day on Wall Street.

According to the Wall Street Journal, Tesla’s shareholders meeting, which takes place today, will be more focused on whether Elon Musk devotes more attention to the vehicle company after appointing Linda Yaccarino last Friday as executive director of Twitter, the network social network that has captured his attention since he bought it last October.
