Twitter CEO Elon Musk made headlines again for his latest comparison. He posted a tweet saying that the billionaire and Democratic mega-donor George Soros reminds him of the X-Men villain:
Soros reminds me of Magneto

It didn't take any time for people to comment on his tweet. Millions of users responded to Musk but he was struck by a comment made by journalist Brian Krassenstein:
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…

Musk disagreed with Krassenstein and did not hesitate to answer by telling the journalist that he was wrong and that the Democratic megadonor's actions prove that he "hates humanity":
You assume they are good intentions. They are not. He wants to erode the very fabric of civilization. Soros hates humanity.

Krassenstein, still unsatisfied with Elon Musk's comeback, decided to respond and claimed that Musk did not have enough evidence to claim that Soros was a villain and that there was a lot of misinformation about the billionaire.
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…

Musk, aware that nothing he could say would change Brian Krassenstein's mind, decided to leave it at that and did not respond to the journalist.
