Elon Musk Faces Backlash Over Anti-Disability Slur on X

– Musk’s recent tweet sparked controversy after Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov thanked him for a Cybertruck, which was modified with military weaponry.
– Activist Seth Abramson publicly questioned Musk about the vehicle’s purpose, to which Musk responded with an offensive slur that drew immediate criticism.
– Many users condemned Musk’s choice of words, highlighting the impact of using such language, particularly given Musk’s own experience with Asperger’s syndrome.
– This incident adds to concerns over Musk’s behavior since acquiring X (formerly Twitter), where his posts have increasingly leaned towards misinformation and extremist views.
– Questions regarding his mental health have also emerged, especially in light of his disclosed use of ketamine for depression, despite claims of being sober while tweeting.
