Elon Musk Has Brought 'The R-Word' Back — And It's Part Of A Disturbing New Trend

Uh huh. That’s why you keep bringing me up in other posts 🤣🤣🤣

So in this thread I told Alaska he took your bitch ass to the cleaners because the did. Other than that I’ve responded directly only to your dumb ass out of sympathy. Are you getting things wrong again like when I took you behind the wood shed on the “burn it all down” claim?
 
Yeah, in all those threads I’m not even involved in. I’m forever up there…you can’t get me out.

Link “all those threads.” There must be tons of them for me to be this far up in your head. Or get your Alzheimer’s checked bruv. Your family already hates the burden you are to them and I’m sure they’d appreciate knowing if it’s just going to get worse.
 
It’s pretty funny that if you pointed out to many on here that “several retards we’re destroying other people’s cars for no reason”, they’d only have a problem with calling them retards and not the burning of the cars.
 
Paper tiger. As expected.

After I destroyed you on the last claim I understand why you tucked tail and ran.

If you’re going to come at me Jim, be better.
Dude, are you STILL trying to keep this convo going? What is the obsession? Damn…
 
I remember when @HawkeyeShawn would rightfully chastise any poster using that word. Now the party that he constantly defends is trying to bring the word back to being mainstream. Yikes.
Do tell. I have repeatedly said that I hate Trump. I voted Harris. Find a post where I approve of anything Trump or Musk are doing besides the border. I’m not a one issue voter. If I were, I would have voted Trump. I voted Harris despite my feelings on the border and immigration. But holy shit, Shawn is pro border and anti illegal immigration, so he must be MAGA.

Fvck Trump. Fvck Musk.

Load this onto whatever file you keep on me. I’m pro choice, support LGBTQ+, anti-gun, support more funding for education and teachers and pro universal healthcare. I voted MFing Harris. So did my no pic wife. On top of all that, I find the MAGA movement gross and very much a cult.

Constantly defends. F off.
 
Jim has no idea how bad you just smoked his dumb ass. Just par for the course for those bois.

I wish the video quality was better, but here is my Aunt Kim on the red carpet for Night to Shine last month. I should invite Jim and his pals there so they can toss the 'R-word' around in casual conversation. I have a feeling they'd be justified in their defense. Wouldn't you agree?

Are these MAGA fvckwads really justifying the use of the word retard? Next thing you know they'll justify the N-word because they heard it in a rap song. My god the hills these fvckers are willing to die on is unreal. It's pretty simple, you don't harm kids, make fun of the disabled or use the n-word. This isn't hard.

Ya know, Musk is neurodivergent. Shouldn’t he get to play the “in-group vernacular” card on this one? Sort of like African-Americans do with the “n-word”. Come to think of it, Musk is an African American, sooooo …….
 
If, culturally, you thought we left “the R-word” back in the late ’90s, you’d unfortunately be wrong.

Elon Musk, President Donald Trump’s buddy-in-chief and the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, is among those who uses the slur regularly: In the past year, Musk, has used “retarded” as an insult at least a dozen times on X, the social media platform he owns and obsessively posts on.

Musk ― who’s always been something of a shit poster, even at 53 ― has directed the word at famed Danish astronaut Andreas Mogensen, actor Ben Stiller, and most recently, Timothy Snyder, a Yale history professor and authoritarianism expert who got under Musk’s skin by criticizing the Trump administration.

“I’m tempted to call this guy a retard but I won’t because I’ve used that word too many times,” Musk tweeted to his almost 200 million followers on Feb. 22 in response to commentary from Snyder.

You can’t lay the blame for the R-word’s comeback all at Musk’s feet ― it’s true that 4-Chan posters and wannabe edge lord comedians never stopped using the word ― but it’s undeniable that Musk’s voice has an impact. A recent study out of Montclair State University found that the use of the slur triples on X when the tech CEO tweets the word himself.

“Unfortunately the R-word is a word that is starting to come back into conversation because more people in positions of power — whether they be political leaders, business leaders, celebrities — are using it as part of their normal dialogue,” said Christy Weir, who works for the Special Olympics, the world’s largest sports organization for children and adults with intellectual disabilities.

Trump himself, of course, is not above insulting people, including those with disabilities: On the 2016 campaign trail, he mocked a reporter’s disability by performing an impression of the man. Throughout the last campaign, Trump called both President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris “mentally disabled”one step below the R-word in offensiveness.

In some ways, the R-word’s resurgence is a depressing sign of our political moment: There’s an inherent meanness to the way the Trump administration and the president’s various cronies conduct themselves.

You can see it on the White House’s social media feeds, which include mock ASMR videos of deportations and posts mocking Selena Gomez for a tearful video she posted in response to ICE raids.

It’s aptly been called a “politics of cruelty,” and if cruelty is the name of the game, slurs like the R-word or using “gay” as a pejorative fit right in.

Some couldn’t be happier about the comeback. In January, the Financial Times interviewed a number of finance bros who were glad that Trump won and that “woke” lost the election, if only because they figured it meant they’d no longer have to self-censor their language around women, minorities and disabled people.

“I feel liberated,” one Wall Street banker told the paper. “We can say ‘retard’ and ‘pussy’ without the fear of getting cancelled ... it’s a new dawn.”

Saying the R word is simply mean and ignorant.
