Elon Musk has openly criticized George Soros for negatively impacting society and claims his acquisition of Twitter is a step towards saving the platform from extreme leftist ideology.
Elon Musk, in a recent episode of the "Joe Rogan Experience" podcast, expressed his concerns about George Soros, suggesting that the billionaire's actions are detrimental to societal fabric. For a detailed account, visit the original story on Fox News.
In a conversation that spanned several topics, Musk articulated his reasons for purchasing Twitter, now rebranded as X. He posited that Soros' financial backing of certain political movements and candidates is a reflection of a deep-seated aversion to humanity. This, according to Musk, is evident in Soros' strategy to influence policy not by changing laws but by altering their enforcement.
Musk's critique extends to Soros' support for district attorneys who, in Musk's view, contribute to societal decay by not prosecuting crime effectively. He suggests that Soros has recognized the strategic value of influencing local elections, which can significantly alter the application of laws without the need for legislative change.
The conversation with Rogan also touched on Musk's concerns about Twitter's previous management. He described the platform as being "controlled by the far-left" and expressed fears about the "corrosive effect on civilization" that such control could exert, particularly referencing the state of downtown San Francisco as an example of the consequences of extreme leftist policies.
Musk elaborated on his belief that Twitter, under its former leadership, served as a conduit for spreading harmful ideologies. He likened these ideologies to a "mind virus" that, if left unchecked, could lead to the downfall of civilization.
During the podcast, Musk and Rogan discussed the previous reputation of Twitter for censoring conservative viewpoints. Musk compared the unchecked spread of extreme environmentalist views on the platform to a "death cult," suggesting that such ideologies could lead to the voluntary extinction of humanity if taken to their logical conclusion.
Musk, who identifies as an environmentalist, argued against the notion that humanity is a blight on the planet. He believes that Earth could sustain a much larger population without destroying natural habitats, countering the extreme views that advocate for human extinction.
The discussion also ventured into the realm of artificial intelligence, with Musk pondering the potential dangers of AI being used by those with extremist views to harm humanity.
Musk revisited his grievances with the "old Twitter," likening its operations to state-run media and asserting that under his leadership, there has been no censorship of far-left views. He highlighted the temporary suspension of several journalists from the platform, which he attributed to violations of Twitter's doxxing policy.
As the conversation with Rogan concluded, Musk reiterated his commitment to ensuring that Twitter remains a platform for free and balanced discourse, free from the influence of any extreme ideologies.
The acquisition of Twitter by Musk has been a topic of intense debate, with many questioning the implications for the future of free speech and the spread of information on the platform.
