Billionaire Elon Musk launched a new attack against fellow mogul George Soros, arguing the 93-year-old Democratic mega-donor erodes “the fabric of civilization.”
Musk, who earlier this year compared the Holocaust survivor to the X-Men supervillain Magneto, blasted the philanthropist for bankrolling progressive, soft-on-crime prosecutors.
“In my opinion, he fundamentally hates humanity,” Musk said during an appearance on “The Joe Rogan Experience” podcast Tuesday.
“He’s doing things that erode the fabric of civilization, getting DAs elected who refuse to prosecute crime. That’s part of the problem in San Francisco and LA and other cities.”
Musk went on to push his own theory for why Soros uses his Open Society Foundations to focus on local races instead of national campaigns.
“Once you get to city and state district attorneys, the value for money is extremely good,” Musk said. “Soros realized you don’t actually need to change the laws; you just need to change how they’re enforced.”
The Tesla boss — who in an appearance on Rogan’s show in 2018 sparked his own controversy by sparking up a joint — sipped on a drink throughout the podcast appearance.
Rogan spent much of the episode in a Halloween costume that featured a blonde wig.
Musk also explained the rationale behind his decision to buy Twitter for $44 billion last year, claiming that he felt the site was having a “corrosive effect” on society.
Twitter was “fundamentally controlled by the far left” and functioned as an “information weapon” for radical progressives as the expense of other viewpoints,” Musk added.
Musk has faced intense scrutiny over his overhaul of Twitter, which has included changing the company’s name to “X,” requiring users to pay for premium features and loosening content moderation standards.
This week, X employees were awarded stock that valued the company at just $19 billion — less than half of what Musk paid to buy Twitter one year ago.
