Summary

Elon Musk reportedly mocked federal employees he fired by privately reacting to their hardships with “laugh-crying emojis,” according to Rolling Stone.

Sources say Musk finds amusement in stories of lives disrupted by his mass dismissals.

Ben Vizzachero, a fired wildlife biologist, confronted Musk at Trump’s congressional address and asked, “Am I waste?” Musk responded with a line from the 1999 movie Office Space: “What would you say you do here?”

Even Trump officials express frustration, calling Musk “irritating” and difficult to work with.

    We need to further expose these kinds of happenings.

    The greatest weakpoint of fascism is the exposal of its cruelty. They have to hide behind “concerns for the common good”, while in reality, they see them as nothing more than when a school bully convinces their teachers that their targets were the ones “starting it”. Cruelty was the main reason I left the far-right, then “moderate conservatism”. They just gaslight not only others with their lies, but themselves too.

      Unfortunately I don’t think it’ll work here. For republicans and most supporters: cruelty is the point. They want to see their enemies lose. They revel in “liberal tears” and lust for the downfall of their adversaries. They’re sick in an emotional way. Elon is on record saying empathy is a weakness.

      They’re all sociopaths. They only care about money and power for them, anything that prohibits that is an enemy.
