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.

Is that not why he's on such a mission to increase birth rates?

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)

That’s far worse. I’ll take egotistical vanity over transphobia any day.

[–] Th4tGuyII@kbin.social 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

[–] b3nsn0w@pricefield.org 2 points 2 years ago

or he just wanted to use slurs. i mean it's elon musk, you can't discount that possibility

So it's fine to spam "Grimes left you"? Gotcha

[–] Xeelee@kbin.social 39 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

[–] b3nsn0w@pricefield.org 16 points 2 years ago

"still no self driving" lmao

on that note, where is the 2020 roadster?

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 TEA... TEA.

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

[–] b3nsn0w@pricefield.org 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

seriously, what does "tea" even mean as a slur?

[–] tupewe@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 years ago

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

"Free speech absolutist"

[–] flat@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Dark_Blade@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

I can’t read tweets anymore, so I’ just gonna assume this is 100% legit

It's fake but we wish it was true
