Trump demands criminal charges against George Soros and his son for supporting protests.
The president invokes RICO laws, stating they contribute to "violent protests".
Elon Musk supports Trump's call for action against Soros.

US President Donald Trump has publicly called for billionaire philanthropist George Soros and his son Alex to face federal racketeering charges, claiming they back violent protests across the country. In a post on Truth Social, Trump stated, "George Soros, and his wonderful Radical Left son, should be charged with RICO because of their support of Violent Protests, and much more, all throughout the United States of America" according to Indiatimes and Newsweek.

Trump's comments are part of a longstanding narrative shared among right-wing factions alleging that Soros secretly funds unrest and protests. The president emphasized that "Soros, and his group of psychopaths, have caused great damage to our Country!" reinforcing claims made in the past about external influences on domestic dissent according to Al Jazeera.

The accusations have drawn attention and support from various notable figures, including Elon Musk, who commented, "High time action was taken against Soros directly,” echoing Trump's thoughts. This commentary ties into Musk's previous critical stance on Soros, reflecting a shared animosity towards the billionaire among some conservative circles according to Indiatimes.
