This one is weird for me. The original usage is "I couldn't care less." Saying that you care so little that you couldn't possibly care any less. "I could care less" said with a sarcastic tone, is saying that you care enough that you could care less about it but since it's sarcastic you're essentially saying you could not care less but with some bite. I think most of the time people just don't know what they're saying but sarcastically saying "I could care less," very dryly, hits harder than "I couldn't care less."
