In a statement circulated on social media, entrepreneur and X owner Elon Musk said financier George Soros "wants to end Western civilization." No further context or sourcing was provided with the quote.
Elon Musk, owner of the social media platform X and a prominent public figure, stated bluntly that billionaire political donor George Soros 'wants to end Western civilization.' The remark, published first on Telegram by the insiderpaper channel, comes amid ongoing public tension between the two figures — Soros has been a frequent target of Musk's criticism over the course of the last year. The statement itself was not accompanied by any elaboration, policy proposal, or additional context. It is not yet clear whether Musk made the remark in a public post, an interview, or a private exchange that was subsequently leaked. No further sourcing has been provided, and the quote has not been independently verified against Musk's own channels or official accounts.
