“You’re literally a Rothschild.”
Posted BY: Paul Joseph Watson
David Rothschild faced ridicule on Twitter for complaining that Elon Musk grew up in privilege, with one user telling the economist, “You’re literally a Rothschild.”
The farce was kicked off by Rothschild, a market analyst, tweeting, “Rich white son of emerald mine owner who grew up in apartheid South Africa is the real victim in our society #ThoughtsAndPrayers.”

The snarky tweet was in response to Musk saying he can no longer vote Democrat because they have become the party of “division and hate,” and that he will vote Republican.
In the past I voted Democrat, because they were (mostly) the kindness party.

But they have become the party of division & hate, so I can no longer support them and will vote Republican.
Now, watch their dirty tricks campaign against me unfold … 🍿
The response from other Twitter users was swift, and ‘Rothschild’ quickly became a trending topic.
“You are literally a Rothschild,” said one respondent.

Rothschild countered by claiming he had no links to the banking dynasty.
Sad people follow me just because my surname is in their outdated antisemitic conspiracy theory about Jewish world domination (I have no relation to the banking family) https://t.co/7f3PLi1GBy also interesting to see their confusion with who I actual am & what I use Twitter for.

As to Rothschild’s apartheid smear, back in March Musk vociferously denied his family ever owned an emerald mine, or that their money came from exploiting apartheid.

This article is false.
– I arrived by myself in Canada in ‘89 with ~CA$2500
– Paid my own way through college, ending with ~$100k student debt
– Started 1st company with no funding & just one computer I built
– There’s no evidence whatsoever of an “emerald mine”
