In a tweet on Wednesday, Elon Musk called US presidential contender Kamala Harris a “communist” for being a vocal supporter of equitable distribution.
Elon musk posted “Kamala essentially is communist. She wants not just equal opportunity but equal outcomes” on X.
Musk was responding to someone who said Kamala Harris is a communist and her word choices give it away. ‘Equitable distribution,’ ‘equity’ It’s just another way of saying “From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs” by Karl Marx popularized meaning even wealth redistribution.”
The tweet came with a video clip of Harris explaining the difference between equality and equity where she said there was need to fight for both.
“She clearly stated for instance that everyone should be able to reach the end in the same position, and since we were not all at the beginning point, some people might require more- an equal distribution” – Harris said in explanation in this video.
However, some users posted their voice of dissent replying to what Musk had posted.
“How can you stop using communism or socialism when talking about things which absolutely have nothing common with these terms?”, Vera Bragina questioned as one user.
“This statement isn’t true. Kamala Harris is part of the Democratic Party and has never voiced support for communist ideology. While she does advocate for policies that promote equality and opportunity for all individuals, it is not accurate to label her as a communist. We must exercise caution when sharing false information about politicians,” Dastan wrote as another user.
Elon Musk has openly endorsed Republican Donald Trump and even confirmed that he had been making donations to super PAC supporting Trump’s presidential campaign. This happened following reports that Tesla CEO plans on donating $45 million per month to GOP presidential candidate-an action which Musk denied himself.
“The report from the media simply isn’t right. I don’t donate $45m/month to Trump,” he had said.
