You could've just as easily said "investors are morons" and had the same connotations without disparaging a group of people

I disagree, and I also don't care. I really despise this sort language policing, it is clear what my message was.
The only group of people I disparaged are Tesla investors, deservingly so.
Other types of mentally impaired people have my full sympathy, and that includes charity.

A distinction without a difference. They mean the same thing.
When "moron" started getting used as a slur, "retarded" was introduced. When "retarded" got used as a slur, "mentally challenged" was introduced.
Now that "mentally challenged" is being used as a slur, there'll soon be a replacement along .
