Original Note:
The word "slave" is derived from the word "Slav," as the Slavic people were commonly slaves. However, the origin of the word is largely moot. Musk is using an etymological fallacy here, insinuating that the race of the slaves matters to contemporary use. It does not. https://www.logicalfallacies.org/etymological-fallacy.html#:~:text=The%20etymological%20fallacy%20can%20also,do%20with%20horses%20or%20horsemanship.
