Tesla CEO Elon Musk has launched a scathing critique of billionaire philanthropist George Soros, accusing him of harboring "hatred" for Israel and humanity. Musk cited reports claiming Soros funds non-governmental organizations (NGOs) allegedly connected to Hamas, a Palestinian militant group. The remarks referenced Israeli UN Ambassador Gilad Erdan, who alleged that Soros funneled over $15 million into NGOs aiming to undermine Israel's sovereignty as a Jewish state.

“George Soros's hatred of humanity includes Israel,” Musk declared, echoing the allegations during a social media exchange. He also condemned U.S. President Joe Biden's decision to award Soros the Presidential Medal of Freedom, labeling it a "travesty." Musk further amplified his criticism by comparing Soros to fictional villains like Marvel's Magneto and Star War's Emperor Palpatine.

This controversy comes amid heightened scrutiny of Soros's global influence. In India, Soros was recently implicated in accusations involving the Adani Group and allegations of funding anti-India organizations through the Organised Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP). Indian political party BJP accused Congress leader Sonia Gandhi of connections with Soros-backed entities, claims the Congress party has strongly denied.

A Hungarian-born Jewish financier, Soros has faced a barrage of criticism for his philanthropic initiatives supporting progressive causes worldwide. Musk's comments reflect broader concerns among critics who argue Soros's actions undermine societal stability. However, Soros’s supporters praise his dedication to democracy and human rights.

Musk's outspoken criticism adds to the growing debate about Soros's influence, as political and corporate leaders continue to assess his role in shaping global narratives.
