Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, has compared George Soros to Magneto, the supervillain from the Marvel Comics series. Musk made the comparison in a tweet on Monday night. "Soros reminds me of Magneto," he wrote. "Both want to erode the very fabric of civilization."
Magneto is a fictional character who is a mutant with the ability to control magnetism. He is the leader of the X-Men's enemies, the Brotherhood of Mutants. Magneto believes that mutants are superior to humans and that they should rule the world.
George Soros is a Hungarian-American investor and philanthropist. He is the founder of the Open Society Foundations, a network of non-governmental organizations that promote democracy and human rights. Soros has been a target of anti-Semitic conspiracy theories, which allege that he is a puppet master who controls world events.
Musk's comparison of Soros to Magneto has been met with criticism from some who believe that it is an anti-Semitic slur. Others have defended Musk, saying that he was simply comparing Soros to a fictional character.
Musk's tweet has sparked a debate about the use of anti-Semitic stereotypes.
