    regarded (sic)

    Surely you can insult musk without being ableist though? There’s 500,000 words in the English language. Choose one that doesn’t drag innocent people into it.

      It’s why I said regarded instead of retarded. I’d never call someone with a disability retarded though, it’s more appropriate for right-wingers.

        Typo/intentional misspelling aside, it’s clear from context what you meant. Here’s a fun idea, let’s not call anyone retarded. It’s a slur against a marginalized group who have nothing to do with any of this. There are plenty of other adjectives to choose from.
