Musk:

"Empathy is a weakness" Feb 2025

"How dare people laugh at my pain" March 2025

[Skittles]

1. there's something really wrong with that guy

and no HE AIN'T NO GENIUS

[Johonny]

26. He is the Enron of tech companies

He creates enormous evaluations of wealth on paper, with often little to no results.

[defacto7]

2. So he has no empathy,

but he weeps for himself. That's how narcissists do it.

[Emrys]

3. If empathy is weakness, then I guess Schadenfreude must be strength.

I'm feeling pretty muscly where Musk's concerned.

[Hekate]

7. Well-stated

[Xipe Totec]

18. Time to order up another serving of Schadenfreude chicken. nt

[AKwannabe]

4. Hahahahahahahahahaha!

Hahahahaha!

[Grokenstein]

5. "It's different when it's ME. I can't understand why you don't SEE that."

I hear Little Lord Piss-Ant, Self-Proclaimed Champion of Freeze Peach, is currently trying to badger Reddit into "moderating" posts that are meeeeeean to him.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

25. Reddit must resist!

[bronxiteforever]

6. Says the guy who said his living child

was “dead” to him because she is trans. He said this on tv imagine how cruel that is.

[colorado_ufo]

8. James Carville would call him

a "Gone Pecan" (Pea-kahn, not the Pea-cans that apparently grow north or the Mason-Dixon line!).

[Evolve Dammit]

9. He said that the "problem with Western Civilization is empathy." I have none for him or any Magats so I'm good?

[bmichaelh]

10. Ayn Rand

Both Trump and Musk admire Ayn Rand.

Which would explain a lot.

She was also a hypocrite, just like they are.

She collected Social Security.

Unlike Dickens, Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, and Shakespeare, her work lack empathy.

[rasputin1952]

22. Just a notion...

But I would add O Henry to your list.

I have a complete collection of his short stories, it is the only fiction I own.

[valleyrogue]

32. It has been speculated she was on the autism spectrum.

In interviews, something clearly wasn't right with her mentally. Something was missing, and that something was the inability to see the world through the point of view of others. She simply wasn't capable of putting herself in somebody else's shoes and trying to see things from their perspective. It isn't that she didn't want to--she couldn't.

She could have had full blown mental illness, but the "autism" explanation has been out there about her.

"Autism" wasn't a "thing" during her lifetime.

[Abolishinist]

11. I bumped into this on the bsky link, first time I've seen it, clever!

[TommieMommy]

28. Excellent 👍

[IcyPeas]

40. succinct.

[ShazzieB]

41. Beautiful!

[ShazzieB]

12. He makes me sick.

I can't stand his smirky, smarmy, supercilious smugness. People complain about seeing Schlump's face everywhere, but that doesn't bother me nearly as much Eloon's self-satisfied sneer popping up all over the place.

If there's a more punchable face on the planet, I have yet to encounter it.

.

[Ol Janx Spirit]

30. Gaetz. Let's not forget his face in this discussion.... N/T

[ShazzieB]

36. Yeah, he's horrible, too.

But he hasn't been all up in our faces for a while, thank God.

I'm pretty sure my perception of punchableness is greatly affected by how much I'm forced to look at particular faces.

Also there are aspects of Musk's personality that I find particularly enraging. The attitude of superiority and being SOOOO pleased with himself while he's busy trying to destroy the.country sets me off like nothing else. Gaetz is a snake in the grass, but he doesn't emit the kind of "look how clever I am!" vibes that Musk does.

[CanonRay]

31. Steven Miller?

I hope I never see him in person.

[ShazzieB]

37. Creepy as fuck, no question.

Miller is a disgusting, slimy, little toad. But he doesn't act like he thinks he's adorable and everything he does is adorable, like Musk. That makes Eloon more punchable to me.

[CanonRay]

38. I yield

[kimbutgar]

13. He and the orange Hitler are such whiny little bitches!

[GulfofMexico]

14. Lack of empathy is one trait shared by all serial killers, according to research

Research by psychologists has long shown that one trait all serial killers share is a lack of empathy. That inability to connect with their victims, that inability to feel any normal human compassion is what allows them to kill and keep on killing without a shred of remorse. And that lack of empathy is what allows Musk and Trump to steal food from kids' school lunch programs, from those on Medicaid, from those who rely on food banks . . .

There may be no single human trait more fundamental than empathy. Without it, people are monsters. With it, we can relate to one another on the most basic levels of human existence and realize that skin color, religion, ethnicity, sexual orientation--none of those differences matter because we're all just flesh and bones.

But lack of empathy is the cornerstone of MAGA. The entire cabinet and most of MAGA members of Congress are without a modicum of empathy, which allows them to be so cruel, so hateful, so disconnected from reality. A rock, a doorknob, a broom stick has more empathy than Musk and Trump combined.

That lack of empathy is also why it's impossible to find any logic, any path to sway their entrenched fantasies. And it's why blaming Democrats for failing to appease them is a false narrative. If America had enough decent people who possessed the trait of empathy, it wouldn't have mattered who was running against Trump. That ticket would have won in a landslide. There is a fundamental human problem in this country when even a slight majority continues to support the human scum that are Musk and Trump and MAGA in general.

23. I'm in Nebraska, but do a radio show remotely...

based just outside of Boston.

When I was live in the studio, I would occasionally play "We All Bleed Red" by Ronnie Dunn.
I would get calls asking where it could be found for a download.

I can't count the number of people I've never stepped over who needed a helping hand, a pair of ears to listen, or compassion for those who have even less than I.

Every show ends with, "No matter where you are, always leave room for a Random Act of Kindness."

[vanlassie]

15. Empathy is caused.

It is generally the result of failure to meet basic needs in babies and children under three.

[turbinetree]

16. Hey asshole fuck you................ I still morn the death of my beloved mother................

I can't wait to march on April 5th against this asshole and his partners in crime.............

[JI7]

17. Right now I want this scum to drop dead faster than Trump

[AntiFascist]

19. BUT, Tesla is the holy sedan chair prophesied in the bible!

[pansypoo53219]

20. his pain? really?

try being a better human asshole.

[Rebl2]

21. Not having

empathy is a weakness, maybe even a mental problem when it’s extreme.

[rasputin1952]

24. A lack of empathy...

is one of the Hallmarks of being a psychopath.

Edited: Grammatical error.

[applegrove]

29. Definitelt a sign of mental illness/disorder when lack of it is extreme,

or missing. Terrifying.

[TommieMommy]

27. Empathy is not weakness. It must be awful to be his kid.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

33. Boo Hoo

Here is musk complaining about Governor Walz

[delisen]

34. Empathy is the foundation of our society

It is what drives us to care about and to cooperate with each other, to build a just and merciful government that works for us,and to design an economy that allows us to live well and to thrive.

The Billionaire Exploiters intent now on mentally enslaving and killing us are just thieves who want something for nothing.

35. The unrelenting tales of his enormous

Intelligence seem to have gotten a life of their own, Methinks Musky (yes, he does appear to exude a certain musk) is having a moment of revelation as his cover gets blown about his vast intelligence. The more we get to know about this stinker, the more we know something ain’t right about him. Whether it is his intelligence, his morals, his ethics…whatever. He is lacking in common decency, too.

We just might get to see him dissolve into a steaming puddle of goo …kind of like the Wicked Witch in The Wizard of Oz. Now there’s a satisfying image. Bwahaha.

Be gone, ye steaming pile of excrement!
