Musk Slammed For Criticizing 'Suicidal Empathy' Of SCOTUS Justices Who Ruled In Favor Of Due Process

In response to a tweet deriding Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett for siding with the three liberal justices against Trump's deportations without due process, Musk chimed in to call it "suicidal empathy."

Once again borrowing from the language of the toxic, insecure, red pill/blue pill, alpha male, incel subcultures that gave rise to public figures like Andrew Tate and Nick Fuentes, Elon Musk attacked the women of the United States Supreme Court for following the rule of law and the United States Constitution instead of showing fealty to Republican President Donald Trump.

In a 4-5 dissent, only the women of SCOTUS decided the core of our justice system—due process—can stop the kinds of mistakes Trump's Department of Homeland Security is making routinely, like ICE abducting and deporting innocent people with visa or green cards to a hellish prison in El Salvador.


How long before it's United States citizens?

After Utah Republican Senator Mike Lee shared a post disparaging conservative Trump-appointed Justice Amy Coney Barrett for ruling with liberal Justices Elena Kagan, Sonia Sotomayor, and Ketanji Brown Jackson from the X account "End Wokeness," Musk decided to chime in.

End Wokeness posted:

"Justice Barrett joined the 3 liberals on the court to rule against Trump using the Alien Enemies Act for deportations"

To which Lee, a sitting member of the Senate, responded:

"This is disappointing"

Musk regurgitated the work of professor Gad Saad, posting:

"Suicidal empathy is a civilizational risk"



George Takei had a viral response as well. He was detained along with his parents and two siblings under the Alien Enemies Act during WWII, without due process, despite being a U.S. citizen.

The Alien Enemies Act of 1798 is a wartime authority intended to help with national security efforts. It had previously been used in War of 1812, World War I, and World War II.

Trump is the first President to use it to violate federal immigration laws and the United States Constitution during peacetime.

Musk's wokeness guru Saad—a Canadian marketing professor—has centered his career on preaching against the "woke mind virus" and the dangers of the "Great Replacement" conspiracy theory, claiming that "western societies are bringing about their own destruction by admitting immigrants from poorer, browner and more Muslim countries."

If you’ve seen a Christian bemoaning the “sin of empathy” or Elon Musk talking about “suicidal empathy” and wondered what that was about, I have an essay for you tldr version is that they are wrong but I think that the details etc are pretty interesting and scary and speak to our fascist moment

Ironically, both Musk and Saad—who was born in Lebanon—are immigrants to their respective countries. Big "rules for thee, not for me" energy from both hypocrites.

An examination of Saad's work shows Musk's ideas about wokeness, empathy, and immigration are all the professor's. Like with his companies, Musk takes unearned credit for other people's ideas and inventions.

People found Musk's war on empathy as equally hypocritical as his war on "illegal immigrants." Musk entered the United States on a student visa and almost immediately dropped out of school, making his student visa null and void.

People called Musk out on his own social media platform.








People were also not buying Musk's tale of impending doom on competing platform Bluesky.

MUSK: Empathy is a civilizational suicidal weakness. ALSO MUSK: Mean Tim Walz hurt my feeling laughing at Tesla stock. Why would he do this to me?

For a dude calling empathy a civilizational suicidal weakness Musk sure tends to cry easily when his feelings are hurt.

In an appearance on Joe Rogan's podcast, Musk claimed:

"We’ve got civilizational suicidal empathy going on. And it’s like, I believe in empathy."
"Like, I think you should care about other people, but you need to have empathy for civilization as a whole and not commit to a civilizational suicide."
"The fundamental weakness of western civilization is empathy. The empathy exploit. They’re exploiting a bug in western civilization, which is the empathy response."

Musk proves once again the biggest issue for the Christian nationalist movement, which the Trump administration also claims to support, is the pesky woke views of that brown-skinned, Middle Eastern Jew, Jesus Christ.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
