      I’ve known a number of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. They’re often quite kind-hearted, loving people. Musk is not. You don’t need to insult them twice by comparing Musk to them, and using hateful terminology while you do it.

      Maybe call Musk an asshole, a nazi, a shitass fucking fleck of rotten cumstain stuck to Trump’s taint instead.

        Don’t forget “a cunt”. Sorry… I’m Australian and not calling Elon Musk a cunt feels wrong.

          He’s definitely a Nazi cunt by Aussie definition. But lacking the warmth and depth, he fails to meet American criteria.

        Idk, I like re-defining that word to be used on people like him. Just call people with actual disabilities “handicapped” or “disabled”

        Edit: whoever downvoted me def calls special needs people “retards”. That’s not cool

      No.

      This sort of argument both minimises his accountability for his actions by blaming factors outside his control, and is incredibly insulting to the millions of people with actual mental disabilities who manage not to be racist assholes.

      Elon is a Nazi, full stop.

      I can’t stand him. Interesting that’s the word you’ve used cos in Britain it’s considered ableist. Can I interest you in the word “wanker” instead? It rolls off the tongue nicely.

      He’s an evil retard, with an infinite amount of wealth and power, if that’s not scary Indon’t know what is.
