    Elon Musk’s net worth is 176.9 billion USD, while George Soros’s is 6.7 billion USD. So much of Soros being Magneto. Musk has gotten even more deranged during the last few years, and now he endorses anti-semitic nonsense. Why is anyone on Twitter at this point?

    The man fell down the same rabbit hole of bullshit that a lot of our other fellow humans have. Thing is his platform and wealth make his more obvious and concerning.

    If he didn’t have his wealth he would also be selling male supplements and butthole tanning beds.

    How does calling a billionaire a villain make you a nazi? Like seriously, help me understand it.

      you don’t think calling a successful jewish guy a villain sounds like antisemitic-nazi nonsense?

      ok

        No I don’t. I can’t name a billionaire who doesn’t seem like a villain to me. Why would I make an exception for jewish billionaires? Sounds kind of racist.

          If the context is “are all billionaires villainous”, then sure. That isn’t the context, though. The context is “is this specific billionaire uniquely villainous” - remember, the speaker is an order of magnitude wealthier - that makes it way more likely to be a Nazi attack than a surprise anti-oligarch assessment.

          So either you get that now and your question was answered, or you’re arguing in bad faith acting like we don’t see through you and this exhaustingly common nazi enabling rhetorical device.

            My question didn’t even mention Musk. I asked how in general the action of calling a billionaire a villain makes someone a Nazi. Believe it or not, Musk is irrelevant, because he is not the only person who rightfully calls out Soros and gets accused for antisemitism. There are a lot of random nobodies who don’t have billions of dollars who get called antisemitic just because they hate when already rich and powerful people use their wealth and power to further influence politics at home and abroad. See https://en.prolewiki.org/wiki/George_Soros

            Case in point: I am not anywhere close to the wealth of George Soros, yet you call me a Nazi enabler for (justly) calling him a villain. Who is really in bad faith here?

                Yeah but our point of contention had nothing to do with Elon Musk

                  yours didn’t, mine very much so did. I don’t really care about how you were trying to derail from the original topic; you asked the question within the context of the original topic, I answered it, now you’re trying to act like the context was never there. I really just don’t care about what you have to say anymore, tbh
