CNBC asked Elon Musk why he compared George Soros to Magneto and his reply was amazing

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!
