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?”

Now I need the video with Tim Walz to get my share of the joy!
What’s the matter Elon, did the mean NPC hurt your feefees?
The damage was done. Surely the russians got what they wanted.
Lock him in one of his exploding cucktrucks and see if he can take it.
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.
No this is just the food they’re feeding to their sycophants. Now they’re making the argument that “Democrats are heartless for rejoicing at people losing their jobs” and that they’re “bullies for rooting for an American company to fail”
“Empathy is a weakness”
Definitely have zero empathy for people that believe “empathy is weakness”.
Considering other people’s hurt in one’s own actions is a social contract and those who have no consideration for the hurt they might/do cause others with their own actions don’t deserve that others to take their hurt into consideration in theirs.
Musk is very much an extreme example of somebody who couldn’t give a rat’s arse about the hurt he causes to others so it’s absolutely Ethical and Moral for others to reciprocate it.
I derive joy from Tesla stock crashing, because I sold all my shares ages ago, and I like it when companies run by Nazis crash and burn <3
Should Tesla fall low enough to trigger a margin call that wipes out Space Nazi, I doubt I will ever be as happy at that moment for the rest of my life.
I’m gonna fuckin pop some champagne if that happens lol
who derives joy from that?
Me.
“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 if 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.
Thanks, I will use that for our -nazi- far right Minister of Finance, when she says “empathy doesn’t belong to politics”.
Being a billionaire is both a symptom and cause of sociopathy.
Liquidate Musk
Stay out of the kitchen then
Thoughts and prayers
It seems like after he lost the Wisconsin judge election that Trump has started to turn on him.
What’s making you say that? I so badly want this to be true.
It’s straight hopium. There’s no way they give that much of a shit about any state supreme court race.
Can’t say I agree. $20 million plus in person visits = significant shits given.
Yeah, this was the big test to see if Elon’s money could still buy additional power for Trump. Didn’t work in this case, hopefully it sows further division in the admin.
You know how sometimes your get so frustrated at someone you struggle to eloquently articulate your dislike of them because there are so many facets to that dislike. This is how Elon makes me feel these days. I struggle to put it in the simplest terms.
It really bothers me that he thinks he deserves pity while denying it to others. It bothers me that his attitude towards money comes from never having had to worry about it. It bothers me that he thinks that he can take actions that threaten people’s livelihoods and even their lives and expects to be loved for it. It bothers me that the only way he can rationalise why people hate him is that they have brainwashed or paid by the left rather than having legitimate grievances with him. It bothers me that he thinks if you aren’t a billionaire it’s because your are lazy/don’t deserve to be and that their hard work is not equal to his. Lastly it bothers me that I don’t know if he genuinely holds these positions or if he just uses them as justification to do horrible things.
Musk is the guy that says he wants to burn society to the ground and rebuild it better. Then he’s shocked people are focusing on and strongly disliking the burning part. Also people have seen the cyber truck and the yearly promises to have self driving next year for sure and don’t trust his rebuilding abilities.
I’ve felt like that about Elon for a good decade now whilst everyone was praising him as a genius
He’s not a genius, hes mostly an idiot with very few discernable skills. He is a scammer who got very lucky
he had a PR team helping his image, his narcissist in him, much like amber heard, fired thier pr team.
He’s a scammer who was born with an emerald mine shoved up his ass and a silver spoon dangling from his mouth.
I had a bit of an argument with a former boss a few years back about him. My boss couldn’t understand why I didn’t like Musk, so I explained. It didn’t help.
I feel this so hard, and it extends to people who still support him (which is thankfully very few in my day to day life.)
Yes! Absolutely this.
Time for him to get out of the kitchen and out of our country. Gitmo is the best place for him.
I say we deport him to Mars.
He has literally said he plans on dying on Mars.
Let’s oblige him.
send him to mars in his own rocket
