Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, recently initiated a dialogue with Alex Soros, son of billionaire investor George Soros, following a contentious political landscape in the United States. This exchange marks a shift from their previous online altercations.
The interaction began when Alex Soros responded to a post regarding the popular vote count in the recent election. He emphasized that while Trump secured a significant electoral victory, the popular vote indicated a closer race, noting that most Americans did not vote for Trump.
Musk, who has previously supported Trump financially, expressed curiosity about Soros's perspectives, suggesting a willingness to meet. Alex Soros welcomed the idea, stating he values learning from differing viewpoints.
Chaired by Alex Soros, the Open Society Foundations reported expenditures of $1.7 billion in 2023, contributing to a total of $22.7 billion since its inception, focusing on justice, democratic governance, and human rights initiatives.
This exchange is notable given Musk's previous comments regarding the Soros family, including derogatory remarks about George Soros. The apparent thawing of relations raises questions about the potential for future collaboration or dialogue.
