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...

Do people suck? Yeah. Does Elon have an actual stutter? No. Is he trash at public speaking? Yes, some say due to drug use. Is he an awful person? Also yes....

Hello. I am also getting my life destroyed by stuttering and anxiety. What you describe here is exactly how I feel when I try to communicate with other people: trapped, restrained, choked up. (Even wh...
