How can it even be a slur? I don't get it. People may use gay or trans or as an insult. But that doesn't make it a slur right. So how this word can?

Kids on xbox live are known to throw around slurs to win arguments, especially in cod. Sorry to have confused ya

You're right to be confused, Elon's post is very silly on many levels, one of which being that considering a word to be mean doesn't make it a slur.
