“Free speech platform”

They’re not even spreading mis information!

They should publish a slur dictionary for twitter to make sure the users are using the acceptable words only

I remember seeing a list of slurs on twitter and it contained obvious ones like the n-word but also some very strange ones like TEATEA.

I bet it was sarcasm but it’s still funny/sad to see people that would loose their minds if you call them silly

idk, those teabags are posting a lot of fuck your birthday memes today /s

seriously, what does “tea” even mean as a slur?

Actually now I remember that it wasn’t a list of slurs but a list of words that only certain people are allowed to say, like the n-word for black people

It didn’t say which words are allowed for who but I suppose tea was for british people? It was basically any word not typically associated to a white american cis-het man

“Free speech absolutist”
It’s a fake guys. Don’t be so naive.
Fact-check
Fact Check-Elon Musk did not tweet that phrases like ‘Grimes left you’ are a slur

A screenshot of a purported Twitter post by Elon Musk saying phrases such as “Grimes left you” are slurs and are banned from Twitter is in fact fabricated, although it has fooled some users.

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)
That’s far worse. I’ll take egotistical vanity over transphobia any day.

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.

or he just wanted to use slurs. i mean it’s elon musk, you can’t discount that possibility
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

yeah my first thought was fake, but then… he’s so fucking stupid and insane… whatever. Never really used twitter, def dont now. Just watchin with popcorn. Enjoying the fall.
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.
Is that not why he's on such a mission to increase birth rates?
So it's fine to spam "Grimes left you"? Gotcha
I can’t read tweets anymore, so I’ just gonna assume this is 100% legit
What a fucking cisgender.

I have a few more slurs for him to ban:

"Emerald mine owner"

"Slave labour profiteer"

"Your daughter hates you"

"Minus two thirds valuation"

"Still no self driving"

Except I've left Twitter long ago. Too bad.

“still no self driving” lmao

on that note, where is the 2020 roadster?

It's fake but we wish it was true
