  • People who are capable of feeling guilt for hurting others would never do the terrible things required to achieve such a position anyway. It's the way they make sure only people who are part of the in-group get that high on the ladder. At best, Elon sees us as insignificant specs that don't even register in his brain. At worst, he hates us and actively enjoys making us suffer.

  • Gaining high status or power changes your brain, suppressing empathy and making you neurologically less able to consider the pain you inflict on others.

    The powerful become evil, it's just how human brains work.

    (Here. Are. Some. Sources)

  • Well, it was just reported widely that he uses a lot of drugs and that it was way more than previously thought, so I'd say that.

    He reportedly uses ketamine, ecstasy and possibly mushrooms. Ketamine usage alone can help him ignore all of that.

  • Elon's a big believer in Ethical Altruism - the idea that any action you take is ethical as long as it improves life for someone. In his case 'someone' is future generations, ie. people who can't tell him his actions on their behalf are wrong, because they don't exist yet. It works as long as you don't think about it too hard, which he doesn't.

  • They do not feel emotions like you and I do. All they know is hate, fear, and all consuming greed.

    1. He's a narcissist. People don't get to his level of wealth by having compassion for the feelings of others. No billionaire ever gat there through their own hard work, they did it by taking advantage of the hard work of other people. He literally does not give a fuck. But narcissists aren't typically born in a vacuum.
    2. Do some research on his upbringing. His father was a narcissist and did all he could to make his son unfettered by compassion for others through constant power games and humiliation. He was raised in South Africa where there was a huge macho culture and it was expected that the strong took advantage of the weak. Elon himself was picked on mercilessly by his classmates, though so he literally had to cope by suppressing his own emotions and not caring about the feelings of most others. I say "most" because the exception would be the fact that he was constantly trying to earn the approval of his father because of his twisted upbringing. Even after his parents divorced when he was 9, he eventually went back to live with his dad despite the constant criticism. In short, Elon learned during his formative years that compassion was a weakness and you can't just flip a switch to unlearn that.
    3. He does copious amounts of drugs and sleeps with a constant stream of women to hide from any possible problematic feelings that would get in the way of his ambitions

  • Fun fact: sociopaths don’t feel that guilt. Explains a LOT of CEOs and politicians.

  • Yes. He's a fucking mess, they all are. The only happy ultra-wealthy are the ones who no one ever hears about, they live like normal people (except they have an endless bank account to fall back on). It takes mental illness to have enough money to live in luxury forever and keep chasing more just to compete with your peers

    But as for Musk personally? He's a true believer. He actually believes in his grandfather's technocracy ideas... And the eugenics. Which is extra funny, because Musk's dad treats Elon like a genetic dead end. He calls him out publicly on Twitter no less

    Musk is actually that dumb. Fucker actually thought Trump brought him in to cut the budget, and that firing his own regulators was just a little job perk no one would notice. He honestly thinks he's the anti-hero making the tough decisions for the future of humanity
