Musk and the Soros clan are no strangers to swapping gibes online—but it seems something akin to a truce has finally been reached. (That being said, by now, we know to take Musk’s posts on X with a pinch of salt.)
The latest tangle between the parties occurred last night when Alex Soros—son of billionaire investor and entrepreneur George Soros—responded to an article about the popular vote count during the election.
The post claimed that although Trump had won the election, his mandate from the popular vote was not the landslide reflected by the majority he held in electoral votes (EVs).
Journalist and author John Nichols posted on X: “On election night, Trump claimed a ‘powerful mandate.’ At that point, he was winning well over 50% of the vote. But there were tens of millions of uncounted votes. As the count nears completion, it reveals that most Americans did not vote for Trump.”
Trump comfortably won the election in terms of EVs at 312 to 226.
At the time of writing, bipartisan tracker the Cook Political Report attributes 74,253,871 popular votes to Harris (48.24%) and 76,806,388 (49.9%) to President-elect Trump.
This is the point on which Alex Soros responded, writing: “It is not a powerful mandate, and the numbers are important ‘they provide Democrats and progressives, however, is an argument against despair and surrender.’ This was a close election. Not a surprise!”
