His confusion has got to be completely feigned. I can't imagine even a billionaire doesn't understand what firing thousands of people does to their lives.

Bought it after getting sent the plan he specifically asked for that projected costs less then 1/7th of what he paid to get his own personal circle-jerk echochamber.
Can you send me something showing the person who did the math? I've got a friend who was all up Elons ass two years ago and used this as one of his "he's such a genuine and nice guy! Nobody even was able to answer his question" points.
Musk: "The fundamental weakness of Western civilization is empathy. The empathy exploit. They're exploiting a bug in Western civilization, which is the empathy response."
I can easily imagine him thinking "I'm not directly hurting them, I'm only hurting other people. Why are they overreacting when they're not the ones being hurt? Don't they see that by hurting these nig... Nigerians, I'm helping them?"
He's right that nothing he has done has hurt me directly. But, I have that fundamental weakness of empathy, so the fact that he's hurting so many other people means that I think the world would be better off if he were dead.
I feel like it's going understated that his dismantling of USAID has also directly led to deaths by starvation and preventable disease. Like yeh it sucks that Dave lost his job, but let's not forget the actual fucking murder happening.
