Elon "empathy is the great failing of the west" Musk wants people to feel sorry for him?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Like every conservative, he just hates that people have empathy for anybody but them

[–] CileTheSane 6 points 2 days ago

Musk doesn't think you should care about other people because he doesn't care about other people.

Musk thinks you should care about Elon Musk because he cares about Elon Musk.

Musk does not have the ability to understand that there is a contraction there.

They talk about "the left" as though there's any kind of leadership or organization or solidarity.

Motherfucker, people just don't like you, all on their own, because of who you are.

People can not actually grasp so many people existing. We were never meant to live in such large societies, historically, we only had a tribe that consists of maximum ~150 people.

It has been scientifically proven that we can't hold effective social relations to a larger number of people. The exact limit is not clear afaik, but what this essentially means, in a community of millions, we abstract away groups of people into "the left", "the bourgeoisie", "the poor" which allows our brain to form social relations to these groups of people with the limited capacity it has, essentially treating each group as a single person.

Now of course, this abstraction is entirely inadequate, as each collection of people is always much more diverse than the abstract concept we use to replace them, and they aren't really single individuals, they don't act with a collective mind.

But most people do not understand this. They just work with these abstractions, these groups of people, as if they were real single people, because in some manner, it does work. If the abstraction actually groups correctly, then the ability to reason like this works decently well. But everyone is always wrong about these abstractions. They are always too general. They always fail to consider that there's not a single mind at work.

It's such an easy mistake to make. I see smarter people than Musk do it all the time. The enemy, like always, is missing knowledge, missing humility, missing self-awareness, unreasonable confidence, fear of the unknown/being wrong. All of which Musk falls into.

I don't see any solution but to educate about this whenever possible. To speak to people about it. To raise the education about stuff like this wherever, whenever we can. I'm trying to do my part.

Case study in money not buying happiness. Richest man in the world by a wide margin. CONSTANTLY whining and crying about something.

If I had even a billion dollars y'all would never catch my ass on social media on in the public eye at all.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

If I had a billion dollars I would share it with everyone I could. Elon Musk is a sick individual, ability to make money does not make him genius. People around him made him what he is. All inventions belong to people not him. Even his first company it highly debatable what he invented himself. Its a classic one guy is a genius conspiracy.

[–] lobut 14 points 2 days ago

I'd very quickly no longer be a billionaire because I'd be donating to hospitals and trying to build affordable housing and helping people.

It's the most deranged of us that seem to climb by using the people around him as steps. Shit floats.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

With that kind of attitude you will never have a billion dollar /s

Nearly every modern nazi would end up in the camps by their own standards.

It's funny because Obama and Biden went their whole terms without a single time being associated with Nazism

It's so unfair that everyone keeps referring to his neo Nazi salute that he gave at a neo Nazi convention.

Just so unfair to bringing up his neo Nazi salute constantly. Just patiently unfair to mention his neo Nazi salute he gave twice at the neo Nazi convention.

Just so unfair. Nazi.

"Fake nazi stuff" lol. Elon Musk has no skills at all for dealing with people who aren't on his payroll and don't have to kiss his spoiled rotten ass lol

[–] [email protected] 95 points 3 days ago (4 children)

Fake Nazi stuff.

So the inauguration Hitler salute was AI generated or what?

Says the one actually doing a whole nazi salute, buying presidency despite not being able to hold office due to nationality, carving up entire programs and departments in a very incompetent way, and attempting to shamelessly buy a seat in the supreme court.

And that's not mentioning how I personally believe he may be doing all this due to his God-Iron-Man-Savior complex which makes him believe he'll be remembered as a modern messiah. Notice how he's revived his desire to put mankind on Mars, and by next year no less. He knows under current laws he'd at best help pave the way to Mars, but not live to enjoy it himself. "Maybe if I change the whole rulebook - in the end despite the suffering they'll thank and revere me", I bet.

Poor Elon. I bet he's crying right now for being a misjudged angel, drying his tears in green paper.

The thing is... slashing welfare, trying to erase trans people, hoarding billions in government subsidies are positive things in his book.

And by "push negative propaganda", you mean use direct quotes and actual video of you.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (4 children)

Oh so that nazi salute was leftists & liberals simply hallucinating ? Or what about the fact that you (as in Elon) literally tried to Whitewash Hitler's crimes ?

Geee, I wonder why we keep calling you a Nazi.

Sounds like he wants some...... Empathy?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 days ago

The richest man on the face of the planet is actually a victim.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 days ago

Elon Musk is text book example of a complete sociopath. He lacks empathy, he chronically lies and manipulates people, extremely impulsive, has no behavior control, has no idea about what is right and what is wrong, is extremely aggressive and hostile (called Tim Walz a loser, the cave rescuer as Pedo), has superficial charm to fool MAGAs, and consistently breaks and defies rules and laws.

Excessive wealth concentration is an existential threat to humanity on the scale of the atomic bomb or supervolcano.

Talk is just talk. What you DO is what you get called out on. Loser

[–] [email protected] 39 points 3 days ago

And yet not once did he apologize for that Nazi salute and explain how horrified he was that he accidentally did it.

[–] not3ottersinacoat 71 points 3 days ago (1 children)

As a trans woman, I'm only giving back what he's been dishing out to me - except that when we talk about him, we're actually telling the truth.

On that note, Elon is a whiny nazi pissbaby.

Dude literally posts his stupid thoughts on his own platform. No one is making that shit up and making him type it out. What a dolt.

Yeah, because supporting and claiming the AFD is Germany's only hope (Germany's Nazi Party, which is not called Nazi Party because that would be illegal in Germany) is exactly what a none Nazi would do!

I'm very curious to see how all this whining plays with his fan boys. Doesn't seem very based or chad or whatever the fucking incel children are saying these days.

Do we get banned here if we insinuate we need another Luigi?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 days ago

Bruh, Luigi did nothing wrong. He was here with me pounding Coors Lights and swapping out the tranny on my F150 Raptor the whole time.

But if you want someone murdered, you can say that.

If I were the richest man on earth, I don't know what kind of person I would be, but I sure as hell wouldn't be a whiny little fuck

[–] [email protected] 38 points 3 days ago (4 children)

And that's why you'd never be the richest person. Think about the qualities that lead one to become the richest person on earth. Really think about what that title represents. It's an unfathomable amount of wealth. Any sane, compassionate person would have funneled that into charity work and the well-being of others.

You see what I'm getting at?

There is a video. Two Nazi salutes. Denial is just a blatant lie.

The left trying to destroy the influence of a plutocrat is pretty normal
