Hi George! Tick, tock, tick, tock..........................................................
The knives are out.
Elon Musk has just launched one of his sharpest attacks against one of his opponents: his peer billionaire George Soros.
Until Dec. 31 the legendary financier and big donor to the Democratic Party was still a major shareholder in Tesla. He held 132,046 shares as of Dec. 31, valued then at nearly $16.27 million, according to Securities and Exchange Commission filings.
The world's most famous short-seller had started acquiring Tesla shares in second-quarter 2022. The investment showed that Soros, who is betting on electric-vehicle dominance by investing in upstarts like Rivian (RIVN) - Get Free Report and Lucid Motors (LCID) - Get Free Report, believed the promises of Elon Musk and Tesla (TSLA) - Get Free Report, the world leaders in the sector.
During the three quarters in which Soros held Tesla shares through his Soros Fund Management, Musk rarely attacked him even though the two men diverge politically.
Since last year, Musk has made a shift to the right. Even as he considers himself moderate or at the center-right on the political spectrum, the serial entrepreneur has become one of the most vocal critics of progressive ideologies and more specifically of what he calls the "woke mind virus."
