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)
