Elon Musk mocks Microsoft Word’s woke ‘inclusivity checker’ flagging ‘insane’ as biased

Elon Musk blasted a Microsoft Word feature called “inclusivity checker,” complaining that it “scolded” him for typing the word “insane.”

The billionaire owner of X posted a screenshot of a Microsoft Word document that appeared to be discussing Tesla’s new Cybertruck, which boasted of the new electric vehicle’s “insane stability.”

The phrase was highlighted by Word’s software — which flags terms and phrases that are deemed politically incorrect and then recommends alternate phrasing — warning that “insane” is a word that “implies mental health bias.”

“Microsoft Word now scolds you if you use words that aren’t ‘inclusive’!” the world’s richest man wrote on his social media platform on Friday.

Musk also posted a screenshot showing an attempt to type “11,000lbs” — though it is unclear why that term would be deemed not inclusive.

“Consider a different perspective,” the Microsoft Word prompt reads. It then offers alternatives such as “11,000lbs (about 4989.51 kg)” and “11,000lbs (about twice the weight of an elephant).”
