‘Our nurses, teachers, firefighters, librarians ... are not, as the world’s richest man implies, genocidal murderers,’ fires back angry union president
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.
Yes, but it was an official medical diagnosis at one time. And then it got used as an insult, so the medical establishment backed away from it.
But that’s beside the point. I have known both nice and nasty people with intellectual disabilities, and somehow none of them were Nazis. I believe the proper term for Musk is ‘shithead’.

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