Tech billionaire Elon Musk reflected on his speech after President Trumps inauguration in January, while lashing out at the media for misportraying what he called a loving gesture as a Nazi salute.
Musk, who has played an influential role in helping Trump overhaul the government during the presidents first 100 days in office, slammed those who have criticized his role as an adviser in the administration and for comparing his rhetoric and mannerisms to Nazi Germany during a recent interview on Foxs My View with Lara Trump.

The fundamental weakness of Western civilization is empathy, the empathy exploit, Musk said. There its theyre exploiting a bug in Western civilization, which is the empathy response.
Empathy, he said, has been weaponized.
