Summary

At a Wisconsin rally, Elon Musk complained about personal attacks and financial losses tied to his role as head of the DOGE.

He insisted he’s not stealing from Social Security, saying it’s actually costing him money—citing Tesla stock’s sharp drop.

Musk whined about Governor Tim Walz mocking the stock’s decline, calling him “a big jerk.”

Despite the criticism, Musk is pouring millions into Wisconsin’s Supreme Court race, while lamenting the pressure he faces for pushing controversial reforms.

    People justify their own behaviour and responses, they build justification for why *it’s ok when I do it because… *. People with narcissistic personality disorders and the such, who do very bad things, perpetually see themselves as in the right, to a delusional extent. The bad guys, genuinely think they’re the good guys. We all do it, to an extent, they double down, they go big.

      i always thought it was a little hyperbolic to call these people narcissists… like, they were similar to narcissists but not actually pathological…

      i think musk is actually further out on the narcissistic personality disorder spectrum, it actually seems like he can’t understand how people could be mad at him even when it’s extremely obvious, front page news, people have hired airplanes with messages to tell him… massive protests… multiple websites and forums dedicated to exactly why they’re mad at him….
      he’s literally targeting the poorest people possible, and any organization investigating him….

      all of this and i think he’s really just not capable of understanding when people are mad at him….

        he can’t understand how people could be mad at him

        The ASD could explain the difference between him and the next narcissist
