reflections from someone who was with neo-Nazi billionaire Elon Musk when he visited Auschwitz after broadcasting and publishing antisemitic remarks & genocidal neo-Nazi propaganda on the website he purchased so that he could suppress speech that he dislikes: lightbrd.com/xriskology/status

Julie Gray 1d • I see people posting that Elon was at Auschwitz this time last year - therefore, his recent "gesture" is not antisemitic. I was there, too. Last year. With Elon. I am embarrassed that I have photos of this on my phone. My love, Gidon Lev, was the "special guest" of this photo-op event. We thought, at the time, that it would be good publicity. But I would not share the photo today. I chatted with Elon Musk. I spent hours with him and walked with him through Auschwitz. I stood with him, looking at the nauseating heaps of hair, luggage, and shoes flooded with violet light meant to preserve it. Is Musk an antisemite? People, actually, it's worse - he doesn't care whatsoever. Elon, father of "little X" as he described his freezing cold son to me, literally does not care. He was unmoved by the experience. For Gidon, to be in the place where his father, Ernst, died on a death march - whether shot by the side of the road or having simply collapsed - was a huge deal. Elon did not care. He was about his press junket and his bodyguards. I was ten feet from him as he posed for the cameras of his entourage. He was utterly detached. He cared about how he looked. When he placed a wreath at Auschwitz and Gidon was overlooked, he walked away with the cameras whirring. This is Elon Musk. A sociopath, if ever there was one. To deduce, from this visit, that he is a friend of the Jews is desperately naive.

One of our mistakes is that we think that empathy is something that everybody has.

Our instinct is to expect empathy from people when faced with horrible personal situations.

The reason is that there are so few that we
a) seldom meet them
b) even when we meet them, there is only an incredibly small chance we see a lack of empathy in action.

and are sociopaths. This observation proves it again.

However, due to our lack of experience, we fail to recognise it.
