      I should’ve probably clarified this is satire - what’s most amusing to me, however, is the fact that this requires a fact check to begin with

        My first thought was “I don’t think it’s real, but it could be”

        Man is more unpredictable than a baboon on a lethal dose of flakka

        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.

      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)

        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.
