Elon Musk Apologizes To Magneto For Comparing Him To George Soros
Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and Twitter, has issued an apology to Magneto, a character from the X-Men, for comparing him to George Soros. In his statement, Musk said, “I would like to say I’m sorry to Max Eisenhardt, also known as ‘Magneto.’ My comparison was unfair. While Magneto is a conflicted and misunderstood character with real human motivations you can empathize with, Soros is an insane cartoon villain with an inhuman hatred for humanity. Not even close to the same person.”
The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) thanked Musk for his apology and expressed hope that he will be more careful with his words in the future. Jonathan Greenblatt, the CEO of ADL, said, “It is unfair to compare anyone, living or dead, to that evil, hollow shell of a man known as ‘Soros.’ We certainly hope Mr. Musk chooses his words more wisely in the future.”
When asked for a comment, Soros did not provide a direct response. This incident highlights the importance of careful communication, especially when making comparisons involving public figures and fictional characters. It serves as a reminder of the potential impact and far-reaching consequences of statements made by influential individuals like Musk.
