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?

        They edited their post to be completely different from when I replied. I haven’t been back since. Everyone else that replied before the edit doesn’t make sense anymore either.

        Kind of sucks that can happen, maybe we should be notified when something we replied to is edited.

          No, I did not. I added a second paragraph to address your obvious misinterpretation.

          The first paragraph is what you replied to, and remains intact. You could have tried to understand it on its own, but instead you chose to look for an excuse to chide a stranger. That was unkind, unwarranted, and unnecessary.

          The question asked by [email protected] stands.

            His question wouldn’t make sense if you didn’t edit your post, though. As my post would have referred to your first sentence absent the second. And you’ll notice everyone read your post the way I did before you edited it. When I came along, you had -5. The only reason mine seems like a weird response now is because I responded to what was effectively a completely different post, even if the original post is still in there.

            You were correct to edit your post. I don’t want to edit mine, but I will add context.

            “You” knew what your original post was supposed to mean. But if every other viewer saw it as meaning what was written instead and you had to turn it around, are all of us readers really the ones in the wrong?
