Elon Musk, the head of Twitter, once again showcases his commitment to free expression and speech. He’s now issued a unique debate challenge to a new powerhouse in business, Alex Soros.
Alex, the son of George Soros – a prominent business leader and political activist on the far left – was recently handed control of a massive $25 billion empire. Shortly after, Musk proposed a discussion in Twitter Spaces. “If @AlexanderSoros truly values free speech,” said Musk, “we’re on the same side. But we need to end the harm to public safety by electing District Attorneys (DAs) who refuse to prosecute violent criminals.”
If @AlexanderSoros is serious about freedom of speech, then we have common ground.
But destroying public safety by electing DAs who won’t prosecute violent criminals needs to stop.

George Soros: Impact on Criminal Justice Reform. Through many of his non-profit groups that lean towards Marxist principles, George Soros has invested millions in local DA races. His aim? To elect candidates with far-left ideologies. These candidates promote “criminal justice reform,” which some belief is just a cover for a commitment to stop prosecuting many crimes, supposedly in the name of fighting racism.
As an outcome, crime and violence have risen in many of the largest cities in the country, all of which have been under Democratic control for years. Critics argue that this was Soros’ goal to prompt political and policy changes.
Public Safety or Misguided Initiative? Brian Krassenstein, a journalist from the left wing, responded to Musk’s challenge. He said that while public safety is crucial, Soros’s initiatives are not meant to make society less safe. Instead, they aim to stop prosecuting some addicts and mentally ill individuals to help them get treatment.
Maybe we should do a Spaces with you, me & Alex to air this out

However, Musk suggested a Twitter Spaces discussion involving Krassenstein and Alex to clarify things.
Alex Soros and the White House. Meanwhile, according to recent reports, Alex Soros has been a frequent visitor to the White House during Biden’s term. Alex, who chairs his father’s Open Society Foundations network, has visited the White House at least 17 times since 2021, per Fox News Digital’s review.
The exact reasons for his visits and who he met remain unclear. In addition to these visits, Alex’s close contact with Democratic lawmakers is noteworthy, which he often shares on his Instagram.
