the real one isn't better tbh (tl;dr: he originally tweeted that 'cis' and 'cisgender' are slurs, also many links are down because of his whole rate limit policy)
That’s far worse. I’ll take egotistical vanity over transphobia any day.
Literally any words could be made a slur dependent on how you use them. It's the ones that are near universally a slur, such as the N word, that anyone should care about.
The fact he didn't feel the need to censor cisgender would be enough to tell you on what level that "slur" actually is.
or he just wanted to use slurs. i mean it's elon musk, you can't discount that possibility
