Elon Musk has the ear of one of the most powerful people in the world – President Donald Trump – making him one of the most powerful people in the world, too. He’s been given unfettered access to adjust the federal government’s budget and headcount.
So what’s he doing posting a slur multiple times targeting the disabled community on social media?
I can’t make it be -5 before I posted based on what I posted. Your edit obviously clarified what it meant for most people and turned around your negative. I’m not trying to be a jerk, I am literally defending myself from you.
Whether you knew what your post should have meant or not, it was obviously not clear, I wasn’t the only person who read it the way I did. Why did you feel the need to edit it?
This isn’t actually a big deal. I’m ok that it happened. Don’t worry about it.
Edit: I will add that there is a reason it’s a common practice to put “edit:” in front of any edit that might change the context of a post, especially if there are already replies to it at the time that will change their meaning with that edit.
