Retard

There is something particularly offensive to me that Elon Musk is bringing back the word "retard." He has made fun of people on X (Twitter) as Retards. Retarded. He refers to Peter Navarro as "Peter Retardo".

It's not funny. I don't think it is as offensive as the "n" word or anything; I just think it is a lazy slur that probably seemed hip in the segregated private school, in which he didn't have to attend with servants. It is juvenile and cruel for no reason.

He is a nasty person.

These are pictures of my Aunt Martha, who was a "retard".  A word I challenged when people said it when I was young. It killed my aunt to be referred to as a retard. I kind of hate Elon for it.

I was there when she asked her mother, my grandmother, what a retard was. Someone called that in the street. Imagine a mother in the 1960s trying to explain that to a teenage Martha.

Yes, that adorable child on the left is me.



My father, aunt, and grandmother.


Elon is not a good person
