Elon Musk compared controversial billionaire Democratic donor George Soros to “X-Men” supervillain “Magneto” in a series of tweets on May 15, just days after Soros’s firm disclosed having sold off its stake in Tesla.

“Soros reminds me of Magneto,” the Twitter owner wrote, referring to the Marvel comic villain who is a Jewish Holocaust survivor.
