Elon Musk is doing everything conspiracy theorists accuse George Soros of

[ck4829]

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.

1. GOP accusations are always confessions.

4. One thing I have never been successful at getting across...

Is that people who believe in conspiracy theories are prone to commit conspiracy theories. So, yes. They do exist.

5. Psychopaths don't believe the lies.

Blaming everyone else and accusing the victims of the crimes is just typical criminal behavior.

7. The few psychopaths build the CTs in the sky...

And the mass of Mugsy Qberts live in them. Despite the logical contradictions and internal inconsistencies.

Because the psychopaths say it’s so. No other reason.

2. Yeah, remember when Joe Biden invited George Soros into the oval office with his little son for a press conference

No, I don’t either

3. Whenever rightwingers accuse someone,

for things like child porn, theft, sex trafficking, drug use, money laundering, treason, etc,
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.

6. George Soros replaced the Bilderberg Group and Trilateral Commission in the minds of nutty conspiracy theorists.
