Elon Musk is an unfathomably wealthy billionaire who has used his financial resources to gain influence over politics, media, and government institutions.
If that sounds familiar, it’s because right-wing populists have spent years hurling accusations of the same behavior at the liberal Jewish philanthropist George Soros.
Influential conspiracy theorists across the globe portray Soros as a shadowy puppet master manipulating global politics and controlling media narratives to serve his own self interest. Fueled by antisemitic conspiracy myths, these accusations have portrayed Soros — and, more recently, his son Alex, the new head of the family’s philanthropic foundation — as the ultimate villain in the far-right imagination, blamed for fomenting civil unrest and organizing election interference.
Now, Musk, who has allied himself with the global far-right and who donated more than $250 million to President Donald Trump’s reelection campaign, is doing what Soros has been accused of. His strategic sway over a powerful media platform, efforts to gain global political influence, and engagement with authoritarian figures mirror the very actions conspiracy theories attribute to Soros.

it's more than likely those are the exact things they themselves are guilty of.
It's happened so many times it's almost a joke. How long does it take
for everyone to realize these are very bad people? The worst among us.
