While I see your point, that this can be an issue for a stutterer (I am a stutterer), Elon Musk's speech is widely not considered a stutter. It has been identified more as a speech: cadence, style, pa...

It’s sort of funny to me as I lean right of center and never noticed Elon had a speech issue- I just don’t notice these things (even though I’m a life long stutterer). Does he talk like he’s on the sp...

Musk has much worse issues than his disfluency and he doesn’t even say he stutters. If he did I would agree here but he hasn’t ever disclosed this. If he came out about it I would understand feeling e...

I know it sucks, I’m 25 years old and I’ve had a stutter all my life. Just know you aren’t alone and you’ll learn that some people will accept it and some won’t. Keep those who accept you for who you ...

I'm gonna try to explain stuttering beyond the face value and how understanding it has helped me move long past it, whether I stutter or not.

I think Musk is a more complicated case than Biden for the public actually. Biden can be charming and very personable and also has a stutter. And his stutter got worse again as he aged. Musk just...

does it get better?

does it get better? I'm 14 and have a stutter, it's not much but it is there. I was wondering if with time it sort of went away or if it has stayed with you. I am scared for the future. That my stutte...

Meh, it's completely fine. It's far more of a professional hinderance than a dating hinderance. I'd stop focusing so much on you being a male too - stuttering specific challenges are pretty much the...

I understand.  I just think Elon sounds like he stutters. I can’t listen to him.  MAGA gave Biden so much shit for not being articulate when it was because of a stutter.  Now MAGA love Musk who is ...

I feel like you’re just arguing semantics in an effort to out group Musk.  If a parent comes to you with someone like a teenage Musk and asks to help them then sure you’d say “actually they don’t stu...

Again, there is a clinical diagnosis of stuttering that has to meet certain criteria. He is disfluent, absolutely, but he does not have the diagnosis of being a person who stutters. Disfluency DOE...

There is a big difference between regular disfluencies and stutter like disfluencies. Musk has never identified as a person who stutters. Musk has disfluencies, yes, but he is not a person who stut...

I think if answering whether it’s fixed or controlled, it’s kinda both. To some extent there are things I don’t really stutter on as much, but in some ways I learned to deal with stuttering. Stutter...
