George Soros: The uproar in India regarding billionaire George Soros has not subsided yet and there is an uproar in America. In fact, on Saturday morning, there was anger on social media over the news that President Biden would honor former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and leftist billionaire George Soros with the Presidential Medal of Freedom. However, despite the controversy, everyone was honored.
According to Fox News, the White House said in a statement that this award is the country’s highest civilian honor. It is awarded to individuals who have made exemplary contributions to the prosperity, values, or security of the United States, world peace, or other important social, public, or private endeavors. After this announcement, Tesla founder Elon Musk has also criticized Biden.

Elon Musk criticized Biden’s decision
Tesla founder Elon Musk led the outrage against this decision of the Biden government. He called the decision to give the honor to Soros “a ridiculous one.” Musk shared a video clip of himself on Joe Rogan’s podcast. In it he said he believed Soros “fundamentally hates humanity.” He is doing things that are destroying the fabric of civilization. You know, electing DAs who refuse to prosecute crimes.”
Online commentator Blake Habion has also criticized Biden’s decision. He wrote, “What a joke – these people have done exactly the opposite of the purpose of the award. Whereas Natalie F. Danleyan wrote that this news could be a story from Babylon B, because it is unbelievable.
What argument did the White House give?
The White House said Clinton “has made history several times over decades in public service” and is the first female senator from New York and the first first lady to hold elected office. After serving as Secretary of State, she became the first woman nominated for president by a major political party of the United States. As a Democratic candidate, she lost her bid to become the country’s first female president when she lost to President-elect Trump in the 2016 election.
