Elon Musk has the ear of one of the most powerful people in the world – President Donald Trump – making him one of the most powerful people in the world, too. He’s been given unfettered access to adjust the federal government’s budget and headcount.

So what’s he doing posting a slur multiple times targeting the disabled community on social media?

    You’re in the wrong here. Reread the message and the tone of the message and then I’d like a 500 word essay on which particular diction in the post makes you think he’s an edgelord rather than someone who genuinely doesn’t know who would abbreviate something “r-word” as if it’s an equivalent moral choice to call a person by that word as it is to call a person by a word that evokes 400 years of triangle trade suffering (or for a subset of the us population, the analogous c-word which many view as evoking 10,000 years of misogynistic behaviors).

    Once that essay is done, I’d like 1000 words on why you think this post makes him anti-trans or, if it’s easier, anti-“pronoun” whatever that happens to be a dog whistle for in your head. Feel free to use their comment history for this one if needs be.

        The edit to my comment merely added the second paragraph, which explicitly spells out what should have been obvious to anyone with basic reading comprehension skills, or failing those, at least a modicum of simple human kindness.
