1. What happens when you mix libertarianism, autism, too much money

and a fragile, sickenly self-absorbed ego

[Coventina]

2. He's a sick sociopath. The single worst person on the planet. I'm serious.

Now, where is a Death Note when I need one?

(slightly less serious)

[EdmondDantes_]

3. Change autism for being a drug-addled clown

His autism claim isn't supported. He's just a poor excuse for a human being who makes lousy choices.

[Mblaze]

8. And a dash of Ayn Rand.

[the nelm]

21. Along with ketamine...n/t

[Cirsium]

4. I've lost mine

I've lost all empathy for Musk.

[niyad]

13. I never had any for him to begin with, and even I did not realize the depths

of his depravity and evil.

[Cirsium]

22. True enough

I didn't have any either.

[Midnight Writer]

5. There would be no civilization of any kind if not for empathy.

Without empathy, the entire human race would be living a "dog eat dog" existence.

Every interaction with another human would be a question of "fuck, eat or kill".

This is the world that the Trumps, the Musks, the Epsteins think they are living in.

Sadly, if they really were living in a "dog eat dog' world, these mutts would be at the bottom of the pecking order. The only way any of these asshats get taken seriously is because they were born rich and entitled. If they were born poor, they would likely be in jail or the morgue by now.

14. I can't remember where I read it...

But I remember a story about how archaeologists would decide if any discovered group of human remains came from a tribe that was “civilized “.

If they found any healed femurs that had been broken a few years before the person’s death, then they were part of a civilized people. A person with a broken femur cannot do much day to day until they are healed. Therefore, the group reached a decision that it was better to accept the short term loss instead of leaving them to die.

This is the hallmark of a civilized people.

6. People who have no empathy disdain it.

People who have empathy cherish it.

I know which group experiences real happiness.

[PatSeg]

9. That sums it up quite well

[Joinfortmill]

7. He belongs to the evil ones.

[purr-rat beauty]

10. A man who impregnates multiple women...

...But loves none lacks empathy

pretty much lacks a soul

Musk is a disgusting POS

[PatSeg]

11. For a supposedly smart man,

he sure does say some really stupid things.

And how do you "weaponize" empathy?

[niyad]

12. Reading fleon skum's comment just as an editor- it makes no sense.

But then, he so rarely does.

[Jimvanhise]

15. IT IS WHY HE HAD TRUMP KILL USAID

USAID existed to help people in other nations. Right now it has been reported that people are starving to death due to the end of the USAID programs. But Elon Musk hated it because it helped the people of South Africa end apartheid. Musk grew up under apartheid and he liked life that way. It is why Musk called USAID "a terrorist organization."

[Initech]

16. Our humanity is currently in the hands of four criminally insane billionaires.

And those four are - Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, Larry Ellison, and Jeff Bezos. These four disgusting men have GDP bankrupting wealth, and they just want more. And they have zero empathy for anybody who stands in their way. Fuck all of them, they all should be in prison.

[IcyPeas]

17. Pity his 13 (give or take) children.

Yuk

[William Seger]

18. I've long said that empathy or lack thereof is the real division between "liberal" and "conservative" viewpoints (nt)

[MLWR]

19. If you hate it so much, go back to where you came from. NO ONE will miss you.

[BaronChocula]

20. At first glance I read

"Elon Musk on empty."
