Original Note:
Any word can be hurt in context, but the nature of "slurs" is they are read with pejorative connotations. As Twitter won't bar chemists discussing Cis–trans isomerism, Mr. Musk is attempting to foment pejoration of a purely descriptive prefix whose antonym is common. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cis%E2%80%93trans_isomerism https://books.google.com/books?hl=en&lr=&id=lam8CwAAQBAJ&oi=fnd&pg=PA1&dq=pejoration+semantic+drift+linguistics&ots=CsPqIy1t49&sig=BzIS1Jg8VoY9rUWDDFXhJfYUIqs#v=onepage&q=pejoration%20semantic%20drift%20linguistics&f=false
