Good. I won't have to feel sorry for him when Trump boots him out of the White House, which he will do after he has served his purpose. What purpose may you ask? To make the unpopular decisions and to take the slings and arrows that otherwise would have struck General Bone Spurs.
Coming from a psychopath it doesn’t surprise me. Let’s start with no empathy with him, I propose to use the 4 horses treatment that was used in medieval times on him
When it comes to geopolitical strength, yes. When it comes to being a good person, no. Empathy has got the United States govt 36T in debt. Unsustainable interest payments on that debt which is soon to be refinanced at rates unknown due Biden/Yellen speculative actions. You know that aint right.
This is what happens when liberals think it's fine to start entertaining "debates" with fascists about fascism. Fascists never debate in good faith, and liberals just seem too dumb to understand fascists use them to gain a platform to spread lies that provide the spark to start their fires.
Sometimes when I have insomnia because, you know, the coup, I try to figure out how we’ve handed so much power to one person. I wonder what makes him so cold and think about stories I’ve heard about his childhood. Is this a lesson for us all for…oh wait, stupid EMPATHY…
Once you've chosen a side here, if you look at your side and see nazis, neo-nazis, racist, fascists and oligarchs, etc...Then brother, you're on the wrong side!
You can't approve of Donald Trump or his "tactics" and not smell like the foul shit he represents. I pity you and your cybertruck
Musk does not express himself very well, especially when trying to explain complex ideas. That aside, the idea that giving too much (rights, money, opportunities) to people who really don't deserve it is ultimately unfair is not of itself that sensational. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=meiU6TxysCg
The irony is that humanity’s super-power is our hyper-sociability and ability to understand one another. Elon was born on third base and thought he hit a triple.
“He likes this notion of helping humanity,” Isaacson told CNN’s Christiane Amanpour in 2023. “In fact, he has more empathy for humanity in general than he often has for the 20 people around him."
It may be that "human" is a designation he only assigns to people that he likes.
It's part of Russia's war on "liberal" ideas (which really means anything not hypermasculine/russian religious) That's why so much propaganda attacks "woke"
They have fully bought into Russian propaganda designed to split the west and attack "globalism"
That statement is all you need to know about what he is capable of. Partner with the apparent psychopathy of Trump, and it should send a chill down every spine.
Every old world hun and hun adjacent douche bag thinks that.
You’d think such miserable little fascist pricks like twitchy would have thicker skin but they whine louder than anybody when they aren’t shown empathy.
He also apparently thinks empathy is important but weaponized? Whatever that means. Wants to save humanity but not individual humans? More performative foolishness. Some see him as a heroic figure but I don’t understand that. Empathy is a feature not a bug.
"Psychopathy is a neuropsychiatric disorder and subtype of antisocial personality that's characterized by a lack of empathy, remorse, and guilt, along with poor behavioral controls."
I haven't been able to find any information on how much money taxpayers are pouring into the rocket explosions-- it sure seems like something that should be front and center in the national discussion about government waste! Future Pivot topic?
No.The fundamental weakness of western civilization is people like musk who abuse civilizational enlightenment, democracy,freer trade/economic systems for their own self serving, give no quarter,don't give back,wreck community,destabilize all for their own sadistic,greedy,selfish egomaniacal gains.
Says the RICHEST person on earth - who could eradicate hunger, child poverty, diseases with a signature. we couldn't have had a worst human being in this position
Let's revoke Elon Musk's American citizenship! We have legal grounds for this, and it goes through the court, not Congress. MuskRat has no respect for our Constitution, our country, and our people. He doesn't deserve to be American! Sign and repost! https://chng.it/yVwGnDCqCR
“We. Are. SPARTA!” shouts the flabby, twitching, hopelessly addicted rich man, bullied as a child, whose father could never muster an ounce of compassion for his own abused son.
He did add that "empathy is good but only when used judiciously" (or similar). He doesn't understand that empathy is not a choice, nor something to be switched on or off. You have it, or you don't.
Trump supports bombing civilians, kidnapping children and the mass rape of Ukrainian women. Is that really the side that most Americans want to be on? People have empathy, especially when the issues so stark!
Dems should focus on whose side is Trump on. Trump is for Vlad, we are on the side of American values and the economy. Adds should focus on specific atrocities that Russians have committed and ask voters if this is the side that they want to be on.
Yeah we really need the pple here with lots of followers to follow good communication practices, like sharing sources and making sure quotes and articles are timely and not from several years ago.
Amen! So many are flat out wrong. “It must be true if (fill in the blank) says it is so … lemme repost!” But it’s never a sound idea to trust someone blindly, even someone who I respect like I do Scott.
Crime usually brings societal shame and fear of consequences, so when done in plain sight, everyone assumes no sane person would risk being found out and assume the actions must be legal.
Not surprised by this quote. Unfortunately we are at a moment where too many of these birds have flocked together. Cold, inhumane and incapable of caring, without concept of community or the ability to see if we lift others we lift ourselves.
Seriously? Is that an actual quote?
That's the sort of thing a high functioning psychopath would think but learn not to say out load.
I am not sure it will end well for Elon.

The fact Rogan is stupid enough to be complicit is hilarious. He is a child compared to #swasticar maker.
No better definition imho.
Number one problem is we care too much about each other
Number one problem is we platform sociopaths and we think it's fine to amplify lies to gain power and control
"Civilization" without empathy is just every man for himself; exploitation by violence; slavery under feudal lords.

Who could forget Elon's 'hilarious' zingers making death threats targeting Kamala Harris?
They have fully bought into Russian propaganda designed to split the west and attack "globalism"
Traitors everywhere
It's disheartening as it's been shown if you care and invest in your fellow people it pays back many times over.

Go figure.

He sees Donold as a chance to please a father figure because his father thought he was a loser.
Errol Musk was right about his son.
