On Tuesday, Elon Musk expressed indifference towards the potential loss of prospective Tesla customers or Twitter advertisers due to his contentious tweets during a conversation with David Faber from CNBC. "I’ll say what I want to say, and if the consequence of that is losing money, so be it"

His comments were made in response to the resurgence of criticism sparked by a recent tweet in which he compared George Soros, a liberal billionaire and Democratic donor, to Magneto, the X-Men villain who is also a Jewish Holocaust survivor. "Soros wishes to undermine the very core of our society. He despises humanity," Musk posted on Monday.

Musk has criticized Soros in the past. Soros Fund Management, which is Soros's family office, recently reduced its investment in Tesla.

Musk's tweets regarding Soros have been seen by critics as part of a broader pattern of assaults on the 92-year-old investor and Democratic donor. Alex Goldenberg, an analyst at the Network Contagion Research Institute, tweeted, "Musk's comparison of Soros to Magneto isn't random; it's an echo of damaging anti-Semitic stereotypes of global Jewish domination." Israel's Foreign Ministry also stated that Musk's tweets carried "anti-Semitic implications."

However, Musk denied accusations of anti-Semitism on Tuesday. "If anything, I'm a pro-Semite," he responded when Faber questioned him about the criticism.

Musk also dismissed the notion that the shooter was a white supremacist as unfounded. "I believe this attribution to white supremacy is nonsense," Musk claimed, emphasizing his belief that there is no evidence to support the shooter's affiliation with white supremacy. "We shouldn't label incidents as white supremacy-related if it's untrue."
