Musk, Thiel, Gates, Buffett, et al., are commonly referred to as billionaire oligarchs, rather than as people on the spectrum with an affinity for a sociopathic malignant narcissist with a lack of empathy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_autism
To be sure, lack of empathy is not the same thing as problems with the "theory of mind" seen in some with autism spectrum disorders; similarly, not buying into standard (but ordinary) social rules is not the same thing as a sociopath/narcissist thinking they can and should cause harm in others.
It’s just a quote and I agree, though I think plenty of enablers aren’t getting overt, conscious pleasure from it. And consistently enabling evil actions might not make one evil, but it makes one complicit.
