As the de facto head of the Department of Governmental Efficiency, Musk has deployed this brand of tactical callousness to maximal effect. He has boasted about throwing the United States Agency for International Development into a “woodchipper” and stumbled around the stage at CPAC with a chainsaw. He has presided over the dismantling of the administrative state and the harassment and mass-termination of federal workers—all while flaunting his lack of concern for the lives he has upended. Fired government employees, he announced last Thursday, with the laughing/crying emoji that’s become his calling card, will now have to “get a real job.”
This kind of depravity is a prerequisite for Musk’s new line of work. Dancing on the graves of lifesaving programs for kids is not something you can easily do with a conscience. But there is one set of feelings Musk is uniquely attuned to: his own. On Friday, the same day foreign service officers around the world received notices from a DOGE flunky alerting them that they would soon be out of a job, Musk—sans sunglasses—sat down with Fox News’ Brett Baier to ask for a little sympathy.
“I mean, you have Tim Walz, who is a huge jerk, running on stage with the Tesla stock price, where the stock price has gone in half—and he is overjoyed,” he said. “What an evil thing to do. What a creep, what a jerk. Like, who derives joy from that?”

So you’re asking me to feel bad, for the richest person on Earth. After he just harmed a ton of people and damaged our country… All because he has slightly less money, the difference of which no average person could ever dream of?
No, I don’t think I will.
“Empathy is a weakness”
Definitely have zero empathy for people that believe “empathy is weakness”.
This sums it up
I know a MAGA like this. Constantly tells people their feelings are just made up mental things and not physical facts.
But then when he talks about how something is affecting him that isn’t a physical fact, he gets animated and literally says he is upset that people don’t listen to his feelings and that makes him feel bad.

Once more Musk showcases a supreme lack of knowledge. If not for empathy we wouldn’t even have civilisation. Empathy is the social glue that keeps us together. It’s through empathy and cooperation that communities and societies form.
Empathy is a weakness. In all its forms it must be stamped out. Unless we’re talking about empathy for power.

“Empathy destroys civilisations” according to Musk. If there was ever any doubt that he is a sociopath, the evidence is now abundantly clear. Empathy is what a civilised society is built upon. He is mixing up society and imperialism. Lack of empathy is what imperialists and fascists demonstrate when they invade their neighbours. Other notables who lack empathy are misogynists, abusers, criminals and fraudsters.
Everytime his sociopathy is mentioned, this quote from the Nuremberg trials should be mentioned:
I told you once that I was searching for the nature of evil. I think I’ve come close to defining it: a lack of empathy. It’s the one characteristic that connects all the defendants. A genuine incapacity to feel with their fellow man. Evil, I think, is the absence of empathy.

If I could give this a million upvotes, I would!
Me too! I think I am going to hand-letter this quote and make a bunch of copies and put them around on the local bulletin boards.
“I mean, you have Tim Walz, who is a huge jerk, running on stage with the Tesla stock price, where the stock price has gone in half—and he is overjoyed,” he said. “What an evil thing to do. What a creep, what a jerk. Like, who derives joy from that?”
We all derive joy from watching the villain get their just deserts.
He should get a real job. 😂😂😂
But what else is a slime mould qualified to do?
Please don’t insult slime mold by comparing it to Elon Musk.
