The multi-billionaire pulling critical funding out of Kentucky says empathy is “the fundamental weakness of Western civilization."
Maybe that's why Elon Musk is happy to cut programs that help veterans, children & families in need.
Being a good neighbor makes all Kentuckians stronger, not weaker.

A man’s gotta have a code. Trump’s code is that the Saudis are paying him millions to host the golf tournament, so that’s where he is.
