Elon Musk is an idiot. I mean, he's genuinely dim-witted. He's like an 11th grade "bro," furiously tweeting Pepe the Frog memes at midnight from his mom's basement, cackling to himself.

If it’s a real quote, we are looking at a very sick mind. Even Heidegger didn’t go quite as far as that. Of course Elon wouldn’t know anything about that. Maybe it’s just a test: If you don’t reflexively condemn this, you are a fascist.

bubbanyarlathotep.bsky.social•3 days ago

That is pretty much the literal definition.

Sounding a lot like ‘Close your eyes to pity’. Now who said that?

Musk continues to show he knows absolutely nothing about human history. I hope I live long enough to see the U.S. celebrate education again.

This guy needs to just guck off, and when he gets there, he needs to keep fucking off. JFC

Darwin interchanged Empathy and Sympathy in his writings, but he concluded that Empathy/Sympathy were the foundations of Moral Behavior. Therefore, lacking Empathy displays immoral behavior and resulted in institutions like Slavery, “the greatest curse on Earth,” in his words. Musk wants Slavery!

A person's empathy directly corresponds with their intelligence. A person with no empathy also has zero emotional intelligence. Empathy is wisdom.

"A lack of empathy. It’s the one characteristic that connects all the defendants, a genuine incapacity to feel with their fellow men. Evil, I think, is the absence of empathy.”

This is a statement from someone who should be diagnosed as an autistic sociopath. Sorry - I had to say it. N**i's said the same.

He hates what gives us our humanity. Very sick guy.

philologon.bsky.social•3 days ago

I think it's Machiavellianism, but allows all the excesses of Fascism to walk in the front door.

panapopps.bsky.social•2 days ago

Of course, coming from a ghoulish, vapid, insipid, soul full of evil and hate…of course…

Yes. It's a psychological precondition for fascism.

Fascism, perhaps.

Sociopathy, definitionally.

Fascist-signaling... like virture signaling but inverse

anhonestcon.bsky.social•3 days ago

I'd pity this fool, but I've come to believe he's not broken, just possessed of faulty wiring.

Not understanding that is worth pitying, tho.

kirkadams.bsky.social•3 days ago

Empathy = Weakness
Kind of doublespeak, no?

danbongard.bsky.social•3 days ago

The weakness of western civilization is that despite being (compared to the rest of the world) rich, safe, educated and healthy, it still contains a rising tide of right-wing morons who would rather tear everything down than enjoy what they have.

bverbs.bsky.social•3 days ago

Those on the autism spectrum have problems with empathy - Oblong Musk

notary-pvblic.bsky.social•3 days ago

Ayn Rand would agree with him.

mherringe.bsky.social•3 days ago

Sociopathy, too.

aselrod.bsky.social•3 days ago

This is essentially explicitly the reason Hitler disdained Christianity

As someone else here recently said, the parallels to the rise of the Nazis draw themselves.

jenniferdevon.bsky.social•3 days ago

I call Elon a GD MFing Nazi.

darkmatters95.bsky.social•3 days ago

He's not anti empathy . He's talking about excessive empathy. He calls it "suicidal empathy" He's been to Israel. He has expressed profound empathy for jews and other marginalized groups

Also fascism has a specific definition and it doesn't include lack of empathy

colbertocrat.bsky.social•3 days ago

Dunno, I’d go with sociopathy myself…

jacksmith4ag2028.bsky.social•3 days ago

Don't worry, I'm sure our brave Democrat reps in Congress will hold up signs saying "Fascism Bad!" and then suddenly we'll take back the house and White House.

ohnoesbleuciels.bsky.social•3 days ago

What an ass

That’s our fundamental strength.

level90.bsky.social•3 days ago

So why doesn't Elon go and live in Russia or China then? It will be a perfect environment form. He will be treated like a God until they have no more use for him and he 'vanishes'.

texanokie07.bsky.social•3 days ago

Does he really believe that, though? He has all sorts of empathy for rich white legacy beneficiaries of Apartheid in his country of birth.

grahamclester.bsky.social•3 days ago

That's not an exact quote so it should not be in quote marks. We don't want to end up spreading fake quotes like MAGA.

teainthesahara.bsky.social•3 days ago

I don’t know. I have no empathy for Elon.

Or at minimum, autism/sociopathy.

richienewport.bsky.social•3 days ago

Musk is a NAZI.
Of course it’s fascism.

eronwright.bsky.social•3 days ago

The raw expression of might makes right.

joeleacy.bsky.social•3 days ago

Musk is clearly a deeply damaged person. I think that damage has metastasized into something craven and evil.

A pathetic excuse for a human being....along with his boss

Most people read George Orwell as a warning, Elon Musk read him with a checklist.

Musk & Trump: “I sit on a man’s back, choking him and making him carry me, and yet assure myself and others that I am very sorry for him and wish to ease his lot—except by getting off his back.”

malaforethought.bsky.social•3 days ago

This is literally sociopathy.

a2t8.bsky.social•3 days ago

It’s the definition of sociopathy

artstardust.bsky.social•3 days ago

Well, you see, under fascism, telling the truth is very risky…

ewaters101.bsky.social•3 days ago

WRONG!! The fundamental weakness is allowing fascists to walk this planet and NOT put a bullet in their brain.

aminorityreport.bsky.social•3 days ago

White Privileged Supremacy

thedanadecker.bsky.social•3 days ago

That explains his (and Trump's) disdain for Europe.

His comment is what I expect from JD Vance, Tucker Carlson, TwiX trolls, Steven Miller, catturd2, et al.

I'll give him this. It's succinct, offensive, and a fantastic quote to use against MAGA/Proj2025 - if elections are still relevant.

ellaweb.bsky.social•3 days ago

Musk's and Trump's fundamental weakness is lack of empathy.

texasrunaway.bsky.social•3 days ago

Albert Camus

deekay2025.bsky.social•3 days ago

A lot of us in the States are screaming “Fascists!” at the top of our lungs, but I’m damned if I can figure out who in the Democratic Leadership is listening. They are doing NOTHING. We need LEADERSHIP. Without it, our protests get nowhere. I’m so angry and frustrated!!!

kjephd.bsky.social•3 days ago

The addition of territorial expansionism to the Trumpist agenda should remove all doubt from even the deepest fascism skeptics
