He would not change his mind.

I think that he’s so totally self-absorbed and narcissistic, so used to privilege and so used to being isolated from 99.9% of the world and the people who live in it, that he’s so used to being able to just walk away from things and ignore what happens to ‘nobodies’ that he has no capacity for empathy or understanding.

Some of this may be inborn to him. some of it may be due to his upbringing. Some of it he may have learnt since he began to be independently and fabulously wealthy.

Wherever it came from, i don’t think that he gives a shit if anyone dies, or if everyone dies.

He’s definitely got some form of autism. When he was in high school he mocked a classmate for having a dad who committed suicide. That was his go to, not empathy, not sorrow, but his self absorbed brain fart that because killing yourself doesn’t make sense it’s worthy of ridicule.

I don’t think that is autism. I think that he’s in the realm of sociopathy and psychopathy.

Narcissists, and sociopaths/psychopaths usually have a very good understanding of the motivations, and emotions of other people and their own. It’s how they are so effective at manipulating people.

People on the autism spectrum on the other hand generally do not. A psychopath knows exactly why they were rude to someone, an autistic person says ‘I was rude?’
