Elon Musk has the ear of one of the most powerful people in the world – President Donald Trump – making him one of the most powerful people in the world, too. He’s been given unfettered access to adjust the federal government’s budget and headcount.

So what’s he doing posting a slur multiple times targeting the disabled community on social media?

    No, there are just a lot of people that literally think it’s as bad as the n word. A few comments up someone used the word to help people understand what word the article describes. They got a good 40% downvotes.

    It’s exhausting. Internet Karen’s exist on both sides of the political isle.

      I think this one is generational (for real, not “these kids don’t have work ethic”). I don’t know anyone in my age group that cares at all. I’ve only ever heard people a decade younger than me say “r-word” in real life.
