Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has expressed interest in meeting Alex Soros, the philanthropist and son of progressive billionaire financier George Soros, following a series of exchanges on X, formerly Twitter, which Musk owns.
The proposal followed Soros’ comment on a post about the presidential election in which former President Donald Trump defeated Vice President Kamala Harris. Soros, involved in progressive political funding through his father’s Open Society Foundations, challenged the notion that Trump’s victory represented a “powerful mandate.”
“It is not a powerful mandate,” Soros wrote on Tuesday. What the numbers “provide Democrats and progressives, however, is an argument against despair and surrender. This was a close election. Not a surprise!”
Musk replied to the post with interest: “I would be curious to meet and understand your goals better,” he posted.
