Elon Musk shared a screenshot in which MS Word suggested an alternative for the world "insane" due to its perceived implication of mental health bias.
Tech entrepreneur Elon Musk has claimed that Microsoft Word, one of the most used word processing software across the world, criticises users for using words that are deemed non-inclusive. Microsoft Word now scolds you if you use words that aren't “inclusive”! pic.twitter.com/W2VqdmHVQk And this too! pic.twitter.com/03ZbwFu4NE Wokeism has literally infiltrated everything on this planet.We must stop it. You mean inclusivity = wokeism ? we have far bigger problems than a word suggestion. That's →insane←We soon will be prosecuted if we point our finger at something or someone because they may decide that it is offensive. Definitely we MUST STOP IT NOW We all know at some point, they are going to try and rewrite the Constitution and other documents to remove references to “man”. I think this could potentially result in Civil War and I am not kidding about that.
Musk shared a screenshot on X (formerly Twitter), revealing a blue squiggly line under the word "insane," with MS Word suggesting an alternative due to its perceived implication of mental health bias. “Microsoft Word now scolds you if you use words that aren't ‘inclusive'!” he wrote as the caption.
The tech billionaire shared a second screenshot where he wrote "11000 lbs” on Word, but the platform showed a suggestion: "Perspectives - Consider a different perspective,” noting, "11,000 lbs (about 4989.51 kg)" and "11,000 lbs (about twice the weight of an elephant)." In the caption, Musk wrote, "And this too."
