Overview

• Elon Musk, Tesla CEO and owner of the social media platform 'X' (previously Twitter) accused billionaire George Soros of eroding societal cohesion on the 'Joe Rogan Experience' podcast.
• Musk claims Soros, a well-known Democratic donor, undermines civilization by funding the election of district attorneys who refuse to prosecute crime, negatively impacting cities like San Francisco and LA.
• Musk explained his theory that Soros focuses on local elections as a strategic method of changing how laws are enforced without having to change the actual laws.
• In the same interview, Musk claimed he purchased Twitter for $44 billion, renaming it to 'X', in response to its 'corrosive effect' on society due to being 'fundamentally controlled by the far left'.
• Facing scrutiny for his overhaul of 'X' which included introducing premium features and relaxing content moderation standards, Musk reaffirmed that his interventions aimed to stem what he viewed as a 'corrosive effect on civilization'.
