Clinically psychopathic. Sociopathy is the result.

The distinction is important because neurotypical people can be raised to behave in ways that are sociopathic, both directly and indirectly. Most of the ultra wealthy who are born into wealth for example explain away the harms their lives cause others. But they still feel and express empathy in many aspects of their lives

But Musk seems genuinely like he has no genuine empathy, and like he has no comprehension of how to be a moral actor in the world. Trump is the same.

Being reasonable intelligent and born into privilege in the world that rewards sociopathy through the market system… psychopaths seem to disproportionately find themselves in positions of power. It’s perverse.

If you were in the military would you follow orders that are unconstitutional? Which is to say, an order that requires you to suppress the American people?

I would hope service people would see what is happening and say no. But that’s a hope more than anything.
