Elon Musk on Bill Gates and George Soros�?"interference" with European politics: No kidding ...

Elon Musk has been vocal on X (formerly Twitter) about the grooming gang scandal in the UK. Recently, Musk directly called out UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, criticising his handling of the issue. Musk also drew attention by comparing billionaire philanthropist George Soros to Darth Sidious, the villainous Sith Lord from Star Wars. In his latest controversial remark, Musk responded affirmatively to a post shared by the account Visegrád 24, which accused billionaires George Soros and Bill Gates of meddling in European politics.
The original post claimed:
“Billionaires George Soros & Bill Gates interfered with European politics for decades, spending huge sums to influence elections. They were promoting open borders & transfer of power from national governments to supranational organizations. Merkel & Macron had no issues with it.�?br/>Musk reposted the tweet with a single-word reply: "True."

In another post, a user said “Leftists had NO problem with George Soros, Bill Gates and other liberal billionaires donating to European political parties and movements over the years, but suddenly call it "interference" when Elon Musk raises awareness about Muslim Grooming Gangs in Britain.�?
Elon Musk replied saying “Why is that?�?
