I think his school teachers, diagnosing him as retarded, were spot on.

Come on man no need to throw slurs around even if you're quoting someone else

That's a medical diagnosis and a slur and also fitting. It's hard to treat the retarded man child unless we first accept that he is one.

Last I checked school teachers didn't make medical diagnoses. Elon is a fucking tool, but we don't need to perpetuate ableism when we talk about him.

Then you are not paying attention to the American school system. Qualified to? Oh most certainly not, but doing it anyway. Heck my 5 year old sister is being diagnosed with just about everything the teachers can offer to the point that there is now a discussion on what tranquilizer to prescribe her without yet talking to a doctor.

We are fucked. Let's at least call out the guy that clearly has an IQ from drug abuse to be qualified as retarded so and you can get upset at my slur of calling him a man-child instead.
