      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’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.

        What do those people have to do with Musk being a retard? Would youcall them retarded? I’m guessing not. Most people don’t use the world that way anymore.

        It’s clearly been repurposed and it’s getting quite silly how upset.

        The definition of the word has nothing do with disabilities:

        To keep delaying; to continue to hinder; to prevent from progress; to render more slow in progress; to impede; to hinder;

        When someone calls Musk a retard they obviously do not mean he is disabled. They are referring to the base definition of the word.

        Now downvote me because you disagree but be aware of the irony in retarding the word from being changed from an insult towards people who are disabled to a word that describes a deep rooted willful ignorance.
