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".

"All us brilliant tech billionaires don't experience empathy therefore humanity is better off without it"

lol Sit down robot man.

@ElleGray it's extremely human to assume that ones own strength and weakness are either universal, or some how "better".

@ekg @ElleGray it’s also extremely robotic. particularly by way of the total lack (and derision) of empathy
