UNITED STATES – The very definition of “ have it across the throat “. More like a joke, American billionaire Elon Musk paid himself one of Joe Biden’s distinguished guests after the award ceremony of the highest American civilian distinction.
Elon Musk becomes “Kekius Maximus” on X and takes up the internet codes of the extreme right
Now an active member of the entourage of the new President of the United States Donald Trump, the richest man in the world visibly wanted to send a message to the American financier and philanthropist George Soros. The latter, hated by Republicans who never fail to relay false information about him, was given this Saturday January 4 the “Presidential Medal of Freedom”just like fashion popess Anna Wintour, actors Denzel Washington and Michael J. Fox, or former Democratic figure Hillary Clinton.
A spectacle that Elon Musk barely enjoyed, according to his strong reaction posted on his own social network, parody » this medal presentation to one of the most fervent supporters of the American Democratic Party. And who happens to be a fierce opponent of the hegemony of GAFAM or the current capitalist system. Quite the opposite of Musk, therefore.
Various positions which place George Soros opposite Elon Musk on the American political spectrum. To criticize its decoration, the boss of Tesla and SpaceX took the liberty of writing that “ George Soros looked pretty good » during the ceremony, believing that this should “ be due to lighting “. A difficult remark to understand… unless you consult the photomontage which accompanies Elon Musk’s ironic publication.
To parody the financier, now 94 years old, Musk published a montage of Joe Biden decorating not George Soros but Emperor Palpatine, the great villain of the cinematographic saga Star Wars.
The one who is also known as Darth Sidious in the universe created by George Lucas therefore inspired the future member of the Trump II administration for this joke in bad taste. Enough to imply that George Soros would in reality be an evil being who, like Emperor Palpatine, leads the Galactic Empire in the shadows before taking power to reign supreme over the galaxy.
Comparison with anti-Semitic overtones
In 2023, long before officially supporting Donald Trump for the presidential election, Elon Mush had already compared George Soros to another famous pop culture antagonist: Magneto from the X-Men comics. A supervillain (much more nuanced than it seems) of Jewish origin and survivor of the Holocaust who did not fail to provoke a reaction, knowing that George Soros is himself Jewish and a survivor of the atrocities of the Nazi regime.
Elon Musk added, in response to a journalist, that George Soros wanted (just like Magneto) “ erode the very fabric of civilization » because he “ hate humanity ».
Anti-Semitic innuendoes, of which George Soros is very regularly the target from a fringe of the American and European extreme right, as recalled The Point. In particular, they see in him the scarecrow responsible (or at least facilitator) of certain legal proceedings initiated against Donald Trump after his first visit to the White House.
“As an immigrant who found freedom and prosperity in America, I am deeply moved by this honor,” For his part, the (real) George Soros reacted after his son Alex recovered the decoration from Joe Biden’s hands.
