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?”

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
Fyi that is tagged as “couldn’t find post”.
Oh! Thanks for letting me know. I was trying to share this again
The damage was done. Surely the russians got what they wanted.
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.
“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.
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”
What’s the matter Elon, did the mean NPC hurt your feefees?
Lock him in one of his exploding cucktrucks and see if he can take it.
Now I need the video with Tim Walz to get my share of the joy!
A very well written article…how refreshing.
This sums it up
I know a MAGA like this. Constantly tells people their feelings are just made up mental things and not physical facts.
But then when he talks about how something is affecting him that isn’t a physical fact, he gets animated and literally says he is upset that people don’t listen to his feelings and that makes him feel bad.
Please tell me you mock him roundly for it.
Not anymore. That just turns into a long diatribe about how it is different and they are actually smarter, so their feelings really do matter.
I do have to see this person often, and I now just want that interaction as short as possible.
Wouldn’t matter, that kind of person is incapable of self-reflection.
Please tell him his feels make him gay
But they ARE capable of misery, and that my friend is worth something
I’d be surprised if any MAGA isn’t like this …
Could you help me understand something? Is this person also… dumb? I don’t mean to be disparaging or judgemental, but I’m trying to navigate all this and I’m having a hard time understanding how someone can lack this much self-awareness and still function in society. Unless, they can’t do that either? Thanks.
Unfortunately this person reasons just fine. Lives normally. Just has a warped view of the world. It doesn’t make sense how people can be so blind to themselves.
These people are lost in their own worlds. They are the main and most important character and other people are simply NPCs to them. They haven’t learned to relate their own experience with the experience of others. They don’t consider there other genuine experiences outside of their own. Empathy is an abstract concept that means nothing but weakness to them.
They can learn to see the world and the people within it differently but it takes an inner awakening and personal effort that they are unlikely to muster the longer they exist as an isolated entity.
OMG, yes. I’m glad someone else understands.
The way I describe it is this person sees the world as a stage that was put there to entertain them. Like the world is their personal TV.
When they talk about other people, they use phrases like they were entertained watching so and so. Or there was something happening they didn’t agree with so they closed their eyes. Or it makes them happy to watch some people do something.
And whenever they see something bad happen or about to happen to someone, they just watch and turn away once they are bored. They never warn or help anyone. To them, it’s just a blooper real or a slapstick TV show episode.
When the rubber hits the road, he’s nothing but a Cybertruck.
Concerning
“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?”
We all derive joy from watching the villain get their just deserts.
Who derives joy from that?
-Man who was gleefully swinging a chainsaw on stage, deriving joy from stealing taxpayer dollars and cutting government services.
with the amount of alcohol and ketamine he consumes, he probably havnt felt joy in a while.
Natural consequences, Muskrat.
He should get a real job. 😂😂😂
But what else is a slime mould qualified to do?
Please don’t insult slime mold by comparing it to Elon Musk.
Apologies. That was thoughtless of me. I was thinking of another substance that needs to be scraped off the souls of ones shoes…
A jerk? On twitter he calls everyone retards. Not such an edgelord when you’re talking to real people huh?
Someone who is tired of your bullshit, that’s who.
It’s no where near what his just deserts would be, but it’s a start. At least it’s one area where the people have a little bit of power over him. Owning a Tesla (I’ve always hated that he stole the inventor’s name for his company) should be made anathema, unacceptable, unthinkable. We should keep up the pressure in every possible way.
Its not even his company. He claimed the company that claimed a name
Oh right, I forgot about that!
What a fucking snowflake LMAO
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
I thought empathy was a weakness man baby. Grow a fucking pair.
