The tweet was in response to Musk saying he can no longer vote Democrat because they have become the party of “division and hate,” and that he will vote Republican.

Rothschild countered by claiming he had no links to the banking dynasty.
If I did come from a wealthy banking family (which I do not) and you hate elites, why would you be mad at me for advocating massive inheritance taxes, rights of workers to organize, more spending on infrastructure to increase economic opportunity? Would that not be a good thing?

As to Rothschild’s apartheid smear, back in March Musk vociferously denied his family ever owned an emerald mine, or that their money came from exploiting apartheid.
