Elon Musk fuels speculations that he’s a psychopath with his sickening reaction to stories of the lives destroyed amid DOGE budget cuts, reportedly responding with laugh emojis. The Tesla CEO and the world’s richest man has risen to prominence in the US political space, with his affiliations to the reigning president Donald Trump. In his role as a special government agent chairing the so-called Department of Government Efficiency, the billionaire has induced many budget cuts, firing tens of thousands of government employees in the process.
This has resulted in protests against the billionaire, with stories of individuals who lost their livelihoods due to the budget cuts making their way to the tabloids daily. Despite masquerading his ruthless efforts as a “necessary evil” for the greater good, the billionaire reportedly derives joy from destroying lives and inflicting citizens with such hurt.
Trump Administration Officials Slam Elon Musk’s Distasteful Antics
According to a Rolling Stone report, Elon Musk has been reacting to these gut-wrenching stories about the destroyed lives of federal workers with laugh-crying emojis. The reports come weeks after the billionaire openly expressed his disdain for public sector workers by retweeting a post blaming them for the atrocities committed by infamous historical terrors like Adolf Hitler, Mao Zedong, and Joseph Stalin.
Elon Musk’s pathetic behavior has not escaped the notice of his co-workers in the White House. Speaking to the outlet, White House sources admitted they, too, like most raging Americans, already had their fill of the tech mogul’s ruthless ways. Some senior state officials have branded him “Crazy Uncle Elon” in recognition of his “grating persona” amid his outrageous, antipathic, budget-cutting spree. One reportedly likened talking to Musk to “listening to rusty nails on a chalkboard.” The senior Trump official also described the billionaire as the most irritating person they’ve ever had to deal with.
The Internet Declares Musk a Psychopath Over Secret Schadenfreude
Veering away from his Washington colleagues, millions of Americans have continuously voiced their outrage against the mogul’s antics. This latest revelation about his disturbing reaction, reportedly with laugh emojis, to the devastating impact of his antics on the lives of those affected has fueled the Musk outrage, with many turning to social media to officially declare him a psychopath. According to them, being a psychopath was the only logical explanation for Elon Musk’s apathy towards his life-upending rampage under the DOGE umbrella. One Reddit user raged,
“Richest person on planet earth and he chooses to be a self-obsessed psychopath.”
Another wrote,
“Self-obsessed psychopath describes all billionaires.”
A third Redditor fired,
“You can’t be the richest person in the world and not be a psychopath. Decency and that level of rich are mutually exclusive.”
A fourth raged,
“This is the most insufferable part to me, if you’re going to be a raging piece of shit at least own it. Instead, he goes around whining, “Why doesn’t anyone like me?
why are people cheering Tesla stock going down, how can people be so cruel
This isn’t the first time the tech mogul’s psychopathic tendencies have been spotlighted. Long before the comments about him reacting with laughing emojis came out, Elon Musk was famously dubbed a psychopath by podcaster and Trump supporter Joe Rogan. During a February episode of the Joe Rogan Experience, the UFC host, who has openly lauded the Trump administration and Musk’s budget-cutting efforts, described the DOGE administrator as a “super genius.” He proceeded to warn that those looking to mess with Musk definitely “f**ked up and picked the wrong psychopath on the spectrum.”
He doubled down on his take, asserting that the mogul would bring in “a bunch of psychopathic wizards” to join his corruption-hunting campaign. Musk appeared to welcome the “psychopath” label by tweeting an excerpt from the episode, along with a bullseye emoji. Being at the helm of a department dedicated to cutting costs and unveiling corrupt practices is one thing, but getting a kick out of the devastating implications of such actions on people’s lives is a whole new level of sickening.
