Both of these can be true.
Misplaced empathy leads to opening your borders to rapine beasts that ruin the future of your children.
It signals the death of empathy for your own people, your very own children.
There is a thing called toxic empathy. Take care of your own house before you handle another.
Are we still peddling this quote taken wildly out of context?
While Musk said he believes in empathy and that “you should care about other people,” he also thinks it’s destroying society. “The fundamental weakness of Western civilization is empathy, the empathy exploit,” Musk said. “There it’s they’re exploiting a bug in Western civilization, which is the empathy response.” Empathy, he said, has been “weaponized.”
He's not saying empathy itself is wrong, he's saying people can abuse it. He also said it's complicated.
Ironically, OP misquote is often deployed to demonize Musk himself and decrease empathy for him.
Musk keeps bringing his kid around someone he publicly called a pedophile.
Demonizing is the least we should be doing to that drug addicted leach on society
