Ladies and gentlemen, Elon Musk is about as based as they come, and he's not afraid to say what's on his mind.

Perfect example here: Elon, in an exclusive interview with CNBC after Tesla's annual shareholders meeting, is asked, of all things, about a tweet where he compared George Soros to Magneto — yes, the supervillain from the X-Men comics!

Here's the tweet and exchange for you in case you missed it:

Yes, this is the tweet CNBC's David Faber asked Elon Musk about during an exclusive post-annual meeting interview. These things are important.

As you might have guessed, Elon's response is classic, so I'll leave the floor to him:

So we go from citing the X-Men on Twitter to using Princess Bride quotes to explain your position on free speech?!?!

🤣🤣🤣

AMAZING!!!

Why do you tweet these things, Elon, when they could cost you and your businesses money?

You know, I'm reminded of a scene in ‘The Princess Bride' — great movie — where he confronts the person who kills his father and he says, 'offer me money, offer me power, I don't care'...

I'll say what I want to say, and if the consequence of that is losing money then so be it.

I mean, it is perfect…

Elon Musk once again knocking it out of the park!
