I chuckled at the weirdly heavy emphasis on that part too, but I think what they're getting at is that elon accused someone who's in a wheelchair of faking their disability. this isn't just carpal tunnel where it's effectively invisible and you just have to take someones word for it (which to be clear, I'm not saying is fair game to just publicly accuse people of faking on a whim)

I guess Musk was asking why he claims he can't type due to his disability but yet manages to tweet all day. That's probably a lot different than claiming someone is faking a disability.

It doesn’t help Musk’s case that he appears unaware of typing-by-dictation software, which is efficient for prose but not necessarily for coding

Speaking of audio to text, how does one insert a full stop to separate sentences? I tried once to use Siri to voice-to-type - got stuck on this and never used it again.

Some TTS tools figure it out from flow in the same way that automated captions do, and most (all?) let you dictate punctuation as well.

(Some capital T capital T capital S tools figure it out from flow in the same way that automated captions do comma and most open paren all question mark close paren let you dictate punctuation as well period)

"Period" most of the time or "full stop" if it gets confused.

in victimerica yes it does. it grants you by default every right and everything that you can say or do against someone that falls under the modern "victimhood" will be racist and xenophobic against all people in situation of handicap for instance. except if you are in the axis of good and the person with disability is not. then they will say you a russian paid troll or an uncle tom to justify all the racism or intolerance they will use against you. I will surely be downvoted hard for this comment but there is definitely something wrong in western society in how we treat ppl with disability or even minorities like they are children and that every negative comment that they will receive will not be at the individual level but at the "community" level just as if their individuality was not something that mattered to these woke outsiders.

the issue here is not his handicap why are we even discussing it? Elon main argument is that he did not do any work. Reading the replies of Haraldur it seems he was not given any. Elon fired the wrong guy.

Elon is the one who brought up the disability.
