Personally pissing off President Musk is going to become a great little pastime of anyone with some extra time on their hands and I am absolutely in favour.
Mongoloid in that context is a reference to people with Down’s syndrome having similar eyes to Asian people, who were referred to as the mongoloid race.
Using elongoloid I think just brings back the dehumanization of those two groups. Plus it uses people with downs as a benchmark for stupidity, which I think is wrong (there’s a very wide spectrum of capability for Downs people).
I like the Forest Gump philosophy: “stupid is as stupid does”, and Elon Musk does more stupid on a daily basis than any downs person I’ve ever met, and probably in all of history.
Side note: my sister has Downs, so making fun of them is a bit of a trigger for me. I like a good natured ribbing and can take jokes, but that’s my off limits area. I hope you don’t take my comment the wrong way, I’m not mad or offended, just throwing in my thoughts.

I’m envisioning a commemorative t-shirt, along the lines of:
“I was banned/demonetized for criticizing X or its CEO.”
Elon is such a fragile little snowflake.
Careful, one of his fellators may find your comment and kek you. Or whatever it is they do.
If the term ‘mongoloid’ is now verboten, can we modify to apply to a singular individual, say Elongoloid…?
I’d rather not

+1 for DS. My son wirh DS can operate PowerPoint better than some of my coworkers :)
A true free speech absolutist!
I don’t understand how this could possibly get you banned.
Musk
Clearly hateful content
So like, I can go on X and spew hateful lies about covid, about Jan 6, about trans people, about wokes, etc, but this crosses a line?
I thought X was all about free speech and no censorship?
Geez! Tone down the rhetoric!
