We can't take advice about empathy from someone who is neurologically incapable of experiencing it. Elon doesn't feel it and cannot understand that it's a vital part of being fully human. He shouldn't get to decide its value for society.
Calling empathy a "weakness" and saying it must be ignored is like a color-blind person declaring "Red isn't real" and "Green is destroying our society".
@ekg @ElleGray it’s also extremely robotic. particularly by way of the total lack (and derision) of empathy
