Musk also responded to tweets spreading other Soros conspiracy theories, including false claims that Soros, a Holocaust survivor, helped roundup Jews for the Nazis, and claims that Soros is somehow linked to the Rothschilds, an entirely separate antisemitic conspiracy theory about Jewish bankers which the Soros’ conspiracies have largely replaced.
I wish Vice has elaborated on this with some specifics. He "responded to" tweets that were anti-Semitic, but how did he respond to them? Positively? Negatively?
I don't think there's much substance in this article, which is a shame because I'd love to see some proof if the claims made by it are true.
The substance is his public twitter account? They have direct quotes in the article. You can plug them into twitter / google etc and see that he said what they directly said he said.
Here's him perpetuating a conspiracy theory [1], here's him perpetuating the typical far-right conspiracy theory [2], here's the interview where he doubles down on the white supremacist shooter not being a white supremacist and claiming bellingcat is a psy-op [3] (and before you ask: the shooter was a white supremacist [4])

Thank you for finding these. I wish the article had linked to his tweets directly, because I think that context is important here.
