Good. I won't have to feel sorry for him when Trump boots him out of the White House, which he will do after he has served his purpose. What purpose may you ask? To make the unpopular decisions and to take the slings and arrows that otherwise would have struck General Bone Spurs.

When it comes to geopolitical strength, yes. When it comes to being a good person, no. Empathy has got the United States govt 36T in debt. Unsustainable interest payments on that debt which is soon to be refinanced at rates unknown due Biden/Yellen speculative actions. You know that aint right.

Right Number one problem is we care too much about each other Number one problem is we platform sociopaths and we think it's fine to amplify lies to gain power and control

Once you've chosen a side here, if you look at your side and see nazis, neo-nazis, racist, fascists and oligarchs, etc...Then brother, you're on the wrong side! You can't approve of Donald Trump or his "tactics" and not smell like the foul shit he represents. I pity you and your cybertruck

The irony is that humanity’s super-power is our hyper-sociability and ability to understand one another. Elon was born on third base and thought he hit a triple.

From the article: “He likes this notion of helping humanity,” Isaacson told CNN’s Christiane Amanpour in 2023. “In fact, he has more empathy for humanity in general than he often has for the 20 people around him." It may be that "human" is a designation he only assigns to people that he likes.

It's part of Russia's war on "liberal" ideas (which really means anything not hypermasculine/russian religious) That's why so much propaganda attacks "woke" They have fully bought into Russian propaganda designed to split the west and attack "globalism" Traitors everywhere

We've definitely seen that, insofar as the Christian nationalist movement, they're preaching the Bible is wrong and that empathy is a sin. It's disheartening as it's been shown if you care and invest in your fellow people it pays back many times over.

"Psychopathy is a neuropsychiatric disorder and subtype of antisocial personality that's characterized by a lack of empathy, remorse, and guilt, along with poor behavioral controls."

I haven't been able to find any information on how much money taxpayers are pouring into the rocket explosions-- it sure seems like something that should be front and center in the national discussion about government waste! Future Pivot topic?

No.The fundamental weakness of western civilization is people like musk who abuse civilizational enlightenment, democracy,freer trade/economic systems for their own self serving, give no quarter,don't give back,wreck community,destabilize all for their own sadistic,greedy,selfish egomaniacal gains.

Why would anybody work for that asshole? All his employees should walk off the job for a statement like that & for what he is doing to our government! Poor, underprivileged & disabled Americans are being hurt by this scumbag!

He did add that "empathy is good but only when used judiciously" (or similar). He doesn't understand that empathy is not a choice, nor something to be switched on or off. You have it, or you don't.

Not surprised by this quote. Unfortunately we are at a moment where too many of these birds have flocked together. Cold, inhumane and incapable of caring, without concept of community or the ability to see if we lift others we lift ourselves.

A society is only as strong as it's weakest members -unknown author ...but I never forgot it after I read it. It was probably in college in a vulnerable populations class looking at the correlations between social safety net funding and poverty rates.
