    For a while I was holding on to sanity thinking “he’s an idiot and he’s just drawing attention to himself.” But now, to anyone that was still thinking “maybe he really is that clumsy, maybe he didn’t really mean it”, this is it. If you’re not getting it now you never will. He’s literally, in the literal sense of literally, a Nazi.

        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”

          Edit: whoever downvoted me def calls special needs people “retards”. That’s not cool

        No.

        This sort of argument both minimises his accountability for his actions by blaming factors outside his control, and is incredibly insulting to the millions of people with actual mental disabilities who manage not to be racist assholes.

        Elon is a Nazi, full stop.

        Elmo is a chinless, balding and dickless wonder boy. (Dickless because he had failed penis vanity surgery which broke his penis. That’s why all his kids are IVF). I truly wonder where and how he got the idea his genes must be propagated. Intellectually, he is also defective…

    There is an unmarked ditch/grave for all the nazi soldiers and sympathizers from WWII near where I live. There is always room for more.

    These CEOs always claim they can’t do good for workers, because they need to please the shareholders. So now that the CEO of Tesla is sinking the company, where are these supposed all powerful merciless shareholders at? If I was a shareholder of Tesla I’d demand felon’s head for doing all this damn to my investment.

        I’m sure some will arise from this, and like most times they’ll settle instead of taking their target down. Yes it’s expensive and time consuming, as always it’ll be worth it if you take your time and do things the right way.

          The destruction of the island of Selini was one of the greatest things Londo ever did as Emperor. I get the feeling, it’s also one of the only times he felt remorse at anything he had done, since he had to ask many Centauri to knowingly die to keep the illusion up. I’d like to believe that he gave Vir what Vir told Mr. Morden that he wanted from Mr. Morden as a form of penance.

          What Vir wants from Mr. Morden.

      Well because US is exactly shaped for the employee to be a modern slave: no social security net in case you are jobless so you have to get rolled over by the boss. Breaking point for most isn’t the morality of the company but when they are endangered or can’t provide for their families…

        but will they, but they adjust income based on the area. and people are much more reluctant to move to a red state/ or the place with low probability of jobs outside of the ones being listed. moving is also kinda expensive too.
