Summary

Elon Musk, under fire for massive layoffs and controversial political influence, is now complaining about Democrats celebrating Tesla’s stock crash.

At CPAC, Musk mocked job losses, but later whined about Tim Walz reveling in Tesla’s decline.

Public backlash is growing: protests have erupted nationwide, and a Yahoo News/YouGov poll shows 67% wouldn’t buy a Tesla—over half citing Musk as the reason.

With falling approval ratings and criticism over his influence on Trump, Musk faces rising opposition from Americans disillusioned by his actions and rhetoric.

    Someone told me that the “fundamental weakness of Western civilization is empathy,” so you can go fuck yourself.

      And that was such a dangerous thing to say.

      Humans are social creatures. Empathy is a cornerstone of society.

      We literally teach kids about empathy in preschool. Imagine being against teaching small children to understand how someone else feels. shivers
