      I should’ve probably clarified this is satire - what’s most amusing to me, however, is the fact that this requires a fact check to begin with

        My first thought was “I don’t think it’s real, but it could be”

        Man is more unpredictable than a baboon on a lethal dose of flakka

        Right? If I saw a screenshot from Elon saying “I believe the solution to world hunger is to grind orphans and poor people into sausages,” I’d have to check if it were true because dude is unhinged.

      the real one isn’t better tbh (tl;dr: he originally tweeted that ‘cis’ and ‘cisgender’ are slurs, also many links are down because of his whole rate limit policy)

        Literally any words could be made a slur dependent on how you use them. It’s the ones that are near universally a slur, such as the N word, that anyone should care about.

        The fact he didn’t feel the need to censor cisgender would be enough to tell you on what level that “slur” actually is.

    I have a few more slurs for him to ban:

    “Emerald mine owner”

    “Slave labour profiteer”

    “Your daughter hates you”

    “Minus two thirds valuation”

    “Still no self driving”

    Except I’ve left Twitter long ago. Too bad.

      I remember seeing a list of slurs on twitter and it contained obvious ones like the n-word but also some very strange ones like TEATEA.

      I bet it was sarcasm but it’s still funny/sad to see people that would loose their minds if you call them silly

        idk, those teabags are posting a lot of fuck your birthday memes today /s

        seriously, what does “tea” even mean as a slur?

          Actually now I remember that it wasn’t a list of slurs but a list of words that only certain people are allowed to say, like the n-word for black people

          It didn’t say which words are allowed for who but I suppose tea was for british people? It was basically any word not typically associated to a white american cis-het man

    Elon is literally the opposite of free speech, yet he claims to love it. Fucking hypocrite.
