Where Does George Soros Get His Money from for All the Damage He Does? By James Reed

I have often puzzled about how George Soros could though his organisations fund everything. But now, thanks to Elon Musk, I know.

"Soros is a genius at arbitrage. So he figured out that you could leverage a small amount of money to create a nonprofit, then lobby the politicians to send a ton of money to that nonprofit. You can take what might be a ten million donation to a nonprofit to create a nonprofit and leverage that into a billion dollar NGO. Nonprofit is a weird word. It's just a non governmental organization, and then the government continues to fund that every year, and it'll have a nice sounding name, like the Institute for Peace or something like that.

But really, it's a graft machine,

and what are the requirements with that money? What do they have to do?

No requirements at all. So they just get grants, and the government just assumes that they're doing good work. I think a lot of people in the government know that they're not doing good work, but they [think] it's a giant graft machine."

George Soros has built what some call a financial empire, but it's not the kind you might expect—less a tower of Wall Street steel and more a sprawling web of nonprofits that turn modest seeds of cash into a torrent of influence. According to claims laid out on March 2, 2025, in a Geller Report piece titled "Soros' Giant Graft Machine: Using NGOs, a Hack to the System,"

this isn't just philanthropy—it's a calculated play to bend governments and taxpayers to his will. The mechanism starts simply enough: Soros, through his Open Society Foundations, drops a relatively small sum—say, $10 million—into a nonprofit he controls or creates. From there, the magic happens. These organisations don't just sit on that money; they lobby politicians, leveraging their influence to unlock vast pools of public funding that can balloon into billions. Elon Musk, speaking on Joe Rogan's show just a day earlier, called it a "genius at arbitrage"—a hack where Soros uses NGOs to multiply his investment through the public purse.

The article points to a concrete example: the U.S. Agency for International Development, or USAID, which reportedly funnelled $260 million to Soros-linked groups before the Trump administration slammed the brakes. This happened despite orders from Trump's State Department to align funding with American interests, suggesting these nonprofits acted as a backdoor to keep Soros' agenda alive. The setup is slick—start with a seed, secure government cash, and suddenly a small donation controls a fortune. The NGOs often cloak themselves in noble-sounding names like "The Institute for Peace," but the critique here is they're less about charity and more about perpetuating a cycle of revenue. Once tapped into government programs, they keep the spigot flowing, long after Soros' initial check clears.

This isn't a U.S.-only game either—the Open Society Foundations reach across borders, though the article keeps its focus stateside. The causes they back are wide-ranging: anti-police campaigns, pro-migration policies, whatever aligns with Soros' vision. Since 2000, he's reportedly poured $21 billion into this network, a figure that dwarfs typical political donations. But it's not just his money doing the heavy lifting—it's ours, taxpayers footing the bill while he steers the ship. The Geller Report paints this as graft, a subversion of democracy where a private citizen hijacks public resources for personal ends. Politicians sympathetic to his leanings—think Democrats under Biden—allegedly grease the wheels, while Trump's team tried, and failed, to shut it down.

Legally, it's a fortress. Hiding behind the shield of U.S. nonprofit laws, these organisations operate with tax-exempt status, making the whole operation look pristine. The result is a machine that amplifies Soros' influence far beyond what direct campaign contributions could achieve. A few million from his pocket becomes billions in play, shaping policies and politics on a scale that's hard to fathom. Critics like those at Geller call it corruption dressed up as charity—a system where the real cost isn't just money, but the erosion of trust in who's really running the show. The mathematics arestriking: a small stake, a big return, and a world quietly reshaped while the rest of us pick up the tab.
