Summary
Elon Musk condemned rising vandalism against Tesla, blaming the political left and suggesting a conspiracy against him.
He cited incidents of arson, gunfire, and property destruction at Tesla dealerships, linking them to protests against his work with DOGE.
Trump and the DOJ have labeled the attacks “domestic terrorism,” vowing arrests.
Some Tesla owners are selling their vehicles or adding bumper stickers distancing themselves from Musk, who defended Tesla as a “peaceful company,” saying “I’ve never done anything harmful.”
He’s an actual sociopath
I’m not being hyperbolic, he’s an actual clinically sociopathic person, of course he thinks he hasn’t done harm.
Clinically psychopathic. Sociopathy is the result.
The distinction is important because neurotypical people can be raised to behave in ways that are sociopathic, both directly and indirectly. Most of the ultra wealthy who are born into wealth for example explain away the harms their lives cause others. But they still feel and express empathy in many aspects of their lives
But Musk seems genuinely like he has no genuine empathy, and like he has no comprehension of how to be a moral actor in the world. Trump is the same.
Being reasonable intelligent and born into privilege in the world that rewards sociopathy through the market system… psychopaths seem to disproportionately find themselves in positions of power. It’s perverse.
