Elon Musk on Monday evening took to Twitter to share his thoughts on globalist, Democrat mega-donor George Soros.
“Soros reminds me of Magneto,” Musk said.

Unless there’s another ‘Magneto’ reference this writer is unfamiliar with, Magneto is an X-Men character from Marvel Comics.
Per Wikipedia:
Magneto (/mæɡˈniːtoʊ/; birth name: Max Eisenhardt; alias: Erik Lehnsherr[needs IPA] and Magnus) is a character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics, commonly in association with the X-Men. Created by writer Stan Lee and artist/co-writer Jack Kirby, the character first appeared in The X-Men #1 (cover-dated September 1963) as an adversary of the X-Men.
The character is a powerful mutant, one of a fictional subspecies of humanity born with superhuman abilities, who has the ability to generate and control magnetic fields. Magneto regards mutants as evolutionarily superior to humans and rejects the possibility of peaceful human-mutant coexistence; he initially aimed to conquer the world to enable mutants, whom he refers to as Homo superior, to replace humans as the dominant species. Writers have since fleshed out his origins and motivations, revealing him to be a Holocaust survivor whose extreme methods and cynical philosophy derive from his determination to protect mutants from suffering a similar fate at the hands of a world that fears and persecutes mutants. He is a friend of Professor X, the leader of the X-Men, but their different philosophies cause a rift in their friendship at times. Magneto’s role in comics has progressed from supervillain to antihero to superhero, having served as an occasional ally and member of the X-Men, even leading the New Mutants for a time as headmaster of the Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters.
“Magneto is waaaaaaaaaaaay cooler,” one Twitter user commented.
“Fair point,” Musk replied with a laughing emoji.
Fair point 😂

Far-left journalist Brian Krassenstein also commented on Musk’s post about George Soros.
“Fun fact: Magneto’s experiences during the Holocaust as a survivor shaped his perspective as well as his depth and empathy. Soro, also a Holocaust survivor, get’s attacked nonstop for his good intentions which some Americans think are bad merely because they disagree with this political affiliations,” Krassenstein said.

Good intentions?
Musk replied to Krassenstein’s idiotic notion about the intentions of Soros.
“You assume they are good intentions. They are not. He wants to erode the very fabric of civilization. Soros hates humanity,” Musk said.

“What basis do you have to make these claims? The Open Society Foundations has given away well over $30B to push to advance justice, education, public health and independent media. Some of these things are things you also support, rightfully so. There is a lot of misinformation out there about Soros. He’s certainly not perfect but to claim he ‘hates humanity’ baffles me,” Krassenstein replied.

In the same Twitter thread, there’s much debate about Soros’ actions as a teenager during WWII.
“Didn’t soros sell out jews to the nazis? Or was that made up?” one Twitter user asked.
“No, it’s a false narrative. When he was 14, his family split up in order to hide from the Nazis. In doing so he went to live with a man who was also hiding his jewish wife from the nazis. This man, to blend in, worked a job which required him to account for the belongings of Jews who were sent to concentration camps. Soros as a child went along with this man once while he accounted for the belongings. That’s really where it ends,” Krassenstein replied.

Another Twitter user provided a clip from George Soros’ 1998 60 Minutes interview that addressed the topic.
“Soros said that his experience as a spectator in the confiscation of property of his fellow Jews during the Nazi occupation is what made his amoral character: ‘That was my identity,'” Twitter user Colom wrote.
