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?

"This just in: Emlo tweeted 69 times while repeating the r-word 420 times in each one."

Lmao, anyone who thinks Trump would stop using that word is, well, I know what Trump would call them.

Musk doesn't take orders and he sure as hell doesn't take requests. Knowing that it offends just makes him want to do it more. He loves the attention, it's why he bought Twitter.

Ok so yeah, fuck him and I hope he crumbles but this is... Not accurate.

He should stop. He in no way needs to. And not in the normal "billionaires break rules and shouldn't" way.

He owns a private company.

My girlfriend can choke me and knee me in the balls in my home just the same. It's my house, dammit, I said she could.

Obligatory fuck Nazis.

It's not my place to tell him how he can use his people's word.

I wanna bet in a few months it'll be racist slurs too.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

Thats already allowed on Twitter. Though you will get in trouble for the word cis.

It'll be an extremely funny day when one of the racist children convince him to drop a hard R.

Big Balls, please, you have the power to do something great.
