It's absolutely incredible that the owner of a platform like Twitter will just openly say things like "graduates of black schools have below average intelligence, therefore allowing them to take jobs as commercial pilots will just end up getting a lot of people killed" and then chastise advertisers for not wanting to be associated with him.

Fingers are overrated anyways.

Once you've got your Neuralink implant directing your Tesla FSD, you'll wish you never had them in the first place! And since this is all going to be a reality by the time Cybertruck hits mass production, it'd be stupid to account for them in the design.

Where we're going we won't need fingers.....or functioning brains.

gently caress the advertisers, why do we still have hundreds of millions of people and news agencies and government institutions from all over the world still using the platform owned by this pig? The advertisers don’t really care, they just worried about how they look to their consumers. But if their consumers don’t care and are still using the platform l why should they? The advertisers will return

People are addicted to twitter, the world had grown dependent on it. The users are not leaving it, and that’s what makes the platform.So Musk can do and say whatever the hell he wants

Keep calm and Harry on.

So what I'm getting from this is that we should confiscate 99.5% of Elon's wealth and use it to build housing. Thousands of people get a roof over their heads and Musk would still be a billionaire. Win-win!

I think you're giving him a lot of benefit of the doubt here. Bigots hate the word cis for the same reason woke people use it: It implies that trans people are not abnormal. I see no reason not to assume that's his position.

There's a few schools of thought on this. I've also heard people say it's an attempt to sanitise the concept of slurs in general. Also I've heard that it's a sort of "jealousy" thing where non-minorities feel left out over not having an n-word so they invent reasons to say that "using [random term or milquetoast insult] is literally the same as the n-word." Kind of like the opposite of "reclaiming" a slur like what happened with the word queer.

Bigots of various levels of intelligence/emotional control do it for various reasons basically.

They want to be able to say slurs (especially the n-word) with zero social/professional repercussions

A great question to ask someone who says cis/cisgender is a slur:

If cisgender is a slur then why are you so comfortable with saying it out loud and/or typing out the full word but you always censor yourself when it comes to actual slurs? I've never heard you say the n-word out loud or seen you type it out.

They never have an answer for this. Of course, it doesn't work on people who actually do say/type slurs
