Alex Soros in hot seat after left-wing outlet exposes what his dad’s network thinks of his online footprint

A recent profile piece on Alex Soros, the heir to the vast liberal mega donor George Soros’ progressive fundraising network, suggested the younger Soros has hurt the family brand with his public profile in recent years.
The article, posted by New York Magazine this week, takes place in Alex Soros’ luxury penthouse in Manhattan and characterizes the home as an example of his indifference to public opinion, which the story suggests hasn’t been beneficial to the family’s Open Society Foundations.
«The setting itself is a testament to a certain indifference to public opinion on Alex’s part — or perhaps a lack of awareness,» the story says.
ALEX SOROS FUMES AT LEFT-WING CLIMATE GROUP OVER ‘PALESTINE’ OBSESSION: ‘WHAT THE HELL’

«This past fall, he held a fundraiser at the apartment for vice-presidential candidate Tim Walz, then created a PR headache by posting photos from the event on social media, as is his custom after meeting heads of state and elected officials. (As a former OSF higher-up says, Alex likes to collect «shiny objects.»)
«It was deemed unhelpful to a presidential ticket straining to underscore its regularness that the son of the 94-year-old hedge-fund billionaire accused of puppeteering the Democratic Party was publicly advertising his centrality to the election effort from a New York City penthouse.»

Soros drew strong criticism on social media over the photo with Walz in his penthouse standing next to a vice presidential candidate who had been labeled as someone who would resonate with rural and working-class voters.
«This guy goes around saying he’s a small town midwestern guy who understands the struggles of the middle class and then goes to hang out at the floating home in the sky of the world’s biggest billionaire nepo baby,» digital strategist Greg Price wrote on X at the time.
«A post like this does nothing to help Kamala Harris & Tim Walz win — if anything, it hurts them,» journalist Jerry Dunleavy posted on X at the time. «So why would Soros post something like this? To publicly signal his power & influence within the next would-be presidential administration.»

New York Magazine wrote that Alex Soros’ «fondness for collecting powerful figures embarrasses people at the foundation.»
«It also underscores his influence. OSF is by some measures the second-largest charitable foundation in the United States, trailing only the Gates Foundation. It gives out roughly $1.5 billion a year, and it spends its U.S. budget not only on liberal causes but also on some of the big dark-money nonprofits aligned with the Democratic Party, including America Votes, the Sixteen Thirty Fund, and the pro-Harris spending group Future Forward USA Action.»

Fox News Digital has documented Soros’ online presence, which includes all the photos he takes with Democratic politicians in recent years, and his Rolodex includes some of the most powerful politicians in the Democratic Party. During the Biden administration, Soros visited the White House over 22 times and met with both Biden and Harris.
His social media profiles have dozens of pictures of him and leading House and Senate Democrats since 2018. The two who appear the most are Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California. Alex had at least nine meetings with Schumer, whom he referred to as his «good friend.»
Soros had at least eight visits with Pelosi, whom he has called the «greatest Speaker of the House in American History!»

Soros has donated millions to Democrats over the past several years, albeit far less than his father. In 2020, he contributed over $700,000 to the Biden Victory Fund, making him among its top donors. For the 2024 cycle, he maxed out $6,600 in donations directly to Biden’s campaign, federal filings show.
Since the 2018 elections, he has poured more than $5 million into federal political coffers. Records show that his largest contribution was $2 million to the Schumer-aligned Senate Majority PAC during this time.

He’s also contributed hundreds of thousands in cash to the Nancy Pelosi Victory Fund, Democratic National Committee and Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. He has given tens of thousands more to state Democratic parties and individual campaigns, many of which were maximum contributions.
The article notes that the Soros network spent hundreds of millions in the last election cycle trying to elect Democrats and push progressive causes and that Soros was «probably the biggest liberal donor of the most recent election cycle» but that it is «hard to know for sure because of untrackable dark-money spending.»

Trump White House takes 100-day victory lap on reforming key agency amid fierce pushback
FIRST ON FOX: As President Trump marks his first 100 days in office on Tuesday, the administration is touting all of their fulfilled campaign promises when it comes to Social Security, an issue where he has been much maligned by Democrats and some in the media.
«I am proud of the extraordinary work by our dedicated employees at SSA to help deliver on President Trump’s promise to protect Social Security,» Lee Dudek, acting commissioner of the Social Security Administration (SSA), told Fox News Digital in a statement.
«They have worked tirelessly to improve customer service while safeguarding Americans’ hard-earned benefits from waste, fraud, and abuse. It will take time to fully recover from the disastrous policies of the previous administration, which led to sky-high wait times for customer service and unconscionable delays for benefit decisions,» Dudek continued. «But SSA employees are leading the turnaround by refocusing their work on frontline customer service, modernizing IT for a better customer experience, and bolstering program integrity.»
The administration, which has called Trump’s first 100 days the most successful of any administration, says that it has made «significant strides» in moving the Social Security Fairness Act forward and has paid over $14.8 billion in retroactive payments to over 2 million individuals affected by the Windfall Elimination Provision and Government Pension Offset.

Trump’s moves on Social Security come as Democrats, including former President Joe Biden, have accused the administration of plotting to slash Social Security benefits, particularly through the Department of Government Efficiency’s (DOGE’s) efforts to reform the agency.
However, the administration says that it is focused on reforms, not cutting benefits, and a White House official told Fox News Digital that SSA has identified over $1 billion in cost avoidance or efficiencies for fiscal year 2025 «through new, common-sense approaches in areas such as payroll, information technology, contracts and grants, real property, printing, travel, and purchase card policies.»
Examples include reducing software licensing, salvaging and repairing tables and chairs, returning leased motor vehicles, converting in-person training to online, streamlining case assignment and tracking systems, and reducing travel card spending allowances.
Additionally, the White House official says the agency has made strides in implementing fraud prevention tools, including tools that help identify fraudulent claims via telephone.
Many, including DOGE chief Elon Musk, have raised concerns about the accuracy of Social Security records, particularly when it comes to data related to whether a person is deceased or still on the rolls despite being well over 100 years old.
The White House told Fox News Digital that progress has been made on that front as well to improve the accuracy of death data and called that effort a «high priority» that was a low priority in the previous administration.

Musk has drawn the ire of Democrats by referring to Social Security as a «Ponzi scheme.»
Fox News Digital spoke to an expert earlier this year who made the case that Musk has a point in using the term «Ponzi scheme.»

«Musk’s statement about Social Security being the world’s biggest Ponzi scheme does have validity,» James Agresti, president of the nonprofit research institute Just Facts, told Fox News Digital in response to pushback from Musk’s claim, which included a «false» rating from Politifact.
«A Ponzi scheme operates by taking money from new investors to pay current investors. That’s the definition given by the SEC, and contrary to popular belief, that’s exactly how Social Security operates.»

Jack Ma, fundador y CEO de Alibaba, actuó como agente del régimen chino para presionar a otro empresario

Jack Ma, el multimillonario cofundador de Alibaba, fue implicado en una campaña de intimidación organizada por el régimen chino, según documentos judiciales revelados por The Guardian. El objetivo de esta operación era presionar a un empresario, identificado únicamente como H, para que colaborara en la purga de un alto funcionario caído en desgracia, Sun Lijun, exviceministro de Seguridad Pública.
La estrategia desplegada por las autoridades de la autocracia comunista china combinó amenazas directas, coacción familiar y procedimientos legales internacionales.
En abril de 2021, Jack Ma realizó una llamada a H, residente en Burdeos, Francia, en la que intentó convencerlo de regresar a China. De acuerdo con las transcripciones presentadas en un tribunal francés, Ma expresó que había sido presionado por las autoridades de seguridad chinas para contactar a su antiguo conocido.
Durante la conversación, el empresario transmitió la oferta del régimen: si H regresaba y cooperaba, se le garantizaría inmunidad. “No tienes otra solución… el lazo se apretará cada vez más”, le advirtió Ma en la llamada, registrada por H. La víctima había comenzado a grabar a todos aquellos que lo llamaban, incluidos funcionarios, por su propia seguridad.

Los métodos de intimidación empleados por el régimen incluyeron un bombardeo de llamadas telefónicas de amigos y funcionarios de seguridad, la emisión de una notificación roja de Interpol y la detención de la hermana de H en China.
La presión psicológica fue intensa y sistemática, alternando promesas de clemencia con amenazas explícitas de represalias contra su familia. Según los documentos judiciales, estas tácticas formaban parte de una estrategia conocida como “guerra psicológica”, orientada a lograr la “voluntaria” repatriación de disidentes.
Mientras enfrentaba un proceso de extradición en Francia, H vio confiscado su pasaporte y se mantuvo bajo la amenaza de ser devuelto a China. Sin embargo, en julio de 2021, el tribunal de apelaciones de Burdeos rechazó la solicitud de extradición tras determinar que tenía un carácter político.
Posteriormente, la notificación roja emitida a través de Interpol fue retirada. Los abogados de H argumentaron que las acusaciones de blanqueo de capitales eran infundadas y estaban diseñadas para forzarlo a testificar contra Sun Lijun.

Aunque logró evitar su regreso forzoso a China, H sufrió consecuencias financieras graves. Incapaz de operar comercialmente o saldar deudas en su país natal, acumuló obligaciones financieras por un total de 135 millones de dólares, según medios chinos.
En paralelo, Jack Ma reapareció en la vida pública en China a principios de 2025, donde fue visto aplaudiendo al presidente Xi Jinping durante una reunión de líderes empresariales en el Gran Salón del Pueblo de Beijing, gesto interpretado localmente como un acto de reafirmación de su lealtad al Partido Comunista Chino.
El empresario H, de 48 años y ciudadano de Singapur nacido en China, fue acusado en su país de origen de delitos financieros relacionados con la plataforma de crédito Tuandai.com. Según los documentos revisados por The Guardian, la policía china emitió cargos de blanqueo de capitales contra H en 2020, un año antes de la llamada de Jack Ma. La acusación sostenía que H había participado en el traslado al extranjero de fondos obtenidos ilícitamente por el fundador de Tuandai.com, quien fue condenado a 20 años de prisión por captación ilegal de fondos.
Durante el proceso judicial en Francia, los abogados de H aseguraron que su cliente desconocía el origen ilícito de los fondos y que su participación en la empresa se limitaba a una inversión legítima. En conversaciones registradas y presentadas ante el tribunal, H insistió en su inocencia, afirmando: “Nada de esto es verdad”.
El uso de la notificación roja de Interpol para intentar capturar a H fue objeto de críticas por parte de defensores de los derechos humanos y expertos legales. Según Rhys Davies, abogado británico especializado en represión transnacional, este mecanismo es “el rifle de francotirador de los autócratas”, permitiendo a regímenes autoritarios apuntar a opositores a distancia de manera efectiva.
El caso de H fue presentado como ejemplo de cómo el régimen chino no necesariamente busca la extradición formal, sino que utiliza la localización de individuos para incrementar las presiones sobre ellos y sus familias.
Ante las acusaciones, un portavoz de la embajada china en el Reino Unido negó las imputaciones, calificándolas como “puras fabricaciones” y aseguró que China respeta la soberanía de otros países y actúa dentro del marco legal en su cooperación judicial internacional. Por su parte, un portavoz de Interpol defendió la validez del sistema de notificaciones rojas, subrayando que cuentan con procedimientos estrictos y en constante revisión para evitar abusos.
