Elon Musk used Tourette's syndrome as an insult. As someone who lives with it everyday, I don't find it funny.
in the US who experience a persistent tic disorder, I frequently hear jokes about Tourette's that perpetuate harmful stereotypes. of the nervous system that causes people to have tics — sudden twitches, movements, or sounds that they make repeatedly. For me, those tics might show up as vocal repetitions, lip clicking, head and neck jerking, and more.
The danger in Musk's tweet has less to do with the words he used and more to do with the intention behind them. He felt he could use my disability as a weapon for emotional injury, and he expected Solomon to be offended.I often try to suppress my tics in public spaces or unfamiliar settings to avoid judgement from strangers. For instance, I might hold in tics when working from an open office, at a coffee shop, or on calls with colleagues and clients.
For Musk to imply that someone has Tourette's just because they've tweeted out a few swear words shows he doesn't understand my condition at all.
