Elon Musk causes stir in the Deaf community with ASL / subtitles question

[@ordinaryextraordinary9484]

someone should ask elon why he needs to listen to music when he can just read the lyrics

[@belle_pomme]

The only correct response 😂

[@Tharindu440]

"No amount of money could restore my hearing" is the most beautiful & perfect quote! That's point out how important it is to our Deaf community cannot live without their right to accessibility.

[@AusticHardOfHearingSinger]

Agreed. Granted I am not deaf, but I am hard of hearing. So, I understand the need for and the right to have accessibility.

[@destinypowers1146]

@@AusticHardOfHearingSinger same here. im hard of hearing and slowly going deaf and I too agree. i have a lot of deaf in my family too. Thats one thing really bothers me, and a lot of these Chicago apt complexes will not allow to make apts deaf friendly. Im learning and not all hearing but a lot hearing wants us to live in their world but they don't want to accommodate deaf and hoh. its even got to point in past 4 years my family and I cant get sorenson or any of those companies to call back. Why is this world trying to shut out our community? Does there have to be another DPN to stand up for rights?

[@lovehorse71]

Thumb up Alex!!! I agreed with you all the way!! 👍

[@BearbearbearbearbearbearRarrrr]

This is important. ❤

[@eitherorbooks]

Elon, I know you know how to Google. He's such a bizarre and cocky person with no social skills, I'm not surprised that he can't understand the difference between captions and ASL.

[@taylor3950]

It really should be obvious to him. I’m hearing, but it’s like telling me “why turn on the sound if the video has captions?” Just silly.

[@moisturizednoodles6621]

because he's just a buffoon with money.

[@lynndrown3742]

NAD mentioned they will no longer use Twitter, but it is now X? I see that msg was in 2022?

[@alanolson6913]

I’m hard of hearing and use dual hearing aids. I also sign. I need captions on to watch TV , especially if the individual speaking has an accent of any kind. My wife doesn’t mind the captions so it is ok for both of us. As for Elon : he has done a lot with his company but it doesn’t mean he understands everything to do with media. As for Alex : you said your point really well.

[@rebeccatorres9339]

We just need to kindly educate him.

[@deniserichards3999]

[@ire1398]

I’ve interpreted in places that also had CART services because many deaf people don’t sign.

[@PatriciaEileenGillam5479]

@Alex, I agreed with you 💯 Thumb up! Since I don't use this X as Twitter for reasons and who was the former President of NAD by Mr. Owen for a long time with our experience the same before who were the owner Jack Dorsey of old Twitter while was on my old account of Twitter stole it and changed it to someone else who did not have none of them outside of the most recent explain it was not right for discrimination of accessible for the Deaf community services. Thank you for share about the information now you got it clearly! 🙌

I have tried applying his offering work at home. His idea program offered to million canadain and America. Like said 350 deposit you get 5,000 or more every monthly. Blah blah that. Only way he can work with you is through phone calls to training you how to do that stuff doing computer craps. Guess what? When he or one of his trainer worker tries call me to talk me on phone. Or email to me kept said have been trying to contact me so I reply back told him or his team that I cannot communicate through phone call. Only way to do that is texts or email. They just simple stopped not do anything with me. Ignoring me move on to someone else who is hearing that can talk on phone. To me he is biggest a..h... to all our deaf people. He didn't cares about disabilities people. All he cares is getting rich. He love money more than people. That is facts.

[@j.l.5935]

🤭Big deal Elon Musk that he is damn ego & big shot, I never install Twitter (old) or X (new), hell with him!!! Also I agree with "bravo" Alex🤗🤟. ASL is beautiful!

[@juan1256roblox]

Old Computer: ASL; New Computer: hearing aid/cochlear implant, cued speech, and spoken language.

[@AusticHardOfHearingSinger]

You are correct. By the way, how Danny said about sign language in his message you showed is correct, as well.

[@bgaraux346]

Neuralink chip is promising to make deaf hear by bypassing the ear, OF COURSE he is getting on the map of the deaf community. He has a vested interest, and it's intentional!

[@JanTuts]

Case in point, approached from the other side: I'm not deaf and can't read/speak ASL, and while I always like having subtitles when available to _supplement_ my experience (bad/low audio, catching things I think I've misheard, etc), I found it a bit difficult to watch this video, because I had to constantly stare at the bottom 1/8 of the screen to read the subtitles, while I actually wanted to be looking at your face/gestures, both for reading body language and the simple fact that we tend to want to look at things that are moving. And this is a video that I can pause and rewind at will. I can only imagine how exhausting it must be having to follow/participate in a live video meeting without any proper interpretation...

[@NLeaf-hv4kx]

Sign languages are many with one spoken English😂 Caption may be in English but language can be from any region.

[@bonniesandy9512]

Are all or most of millionaires or billionaires that ignorant about our Deaf community? Wondering…. I love Alex’s quote “no amount of money to restore my hearing!” ❤️

[@YouNotAlone_Faceless]

My opinion, yes I do dislike MrBeast for one reasons. First reason, I understand he wants help deaf people but he could hurt them, most deaf people not used to hear sounds and noises. That’s the reason why I dislike him I don’t bother him. Love your videos! ❤🤟🏻

[@jasminegaines4757]

Also, not every deaf and HOH person uses English. Not every deaf or HOH person knows ASL. There are always spectrums in life and anyone who negates this are ignorantly rude.

[@sewlady17]

Yep. No one can restore hearing into my profound deaf. My deaf husband likes to read subtitles than ASL. I like both subtitle and ASL..

[@juan1256roblox]

Elon Musk said “What’s the point of sign language in a video if you have substitutes? Am I missing something?” He is right because most deaf people couldn’t understand that closed captioning “illiteracy”. ASL is not great to teach deaf children or a bad education because they struggle how to read sentences. I am still unhappy if ASL exists in some public schools except deaf schools. Hopefully, cued speech will teach them instead in the future. Sigh poor deaf children 😢 STOP TEACHING SIGN LANGUAGE. CUED SPEECH IS THE BEST CHOICE INSTEAD!

[@silentredbarn6617]

He doesn’t causes stir in deaf community, he simple asking because he don’t understand why until we explain to him. He said ahhh gotta.

[@SC_jamesbond007jua]

Deaf community = 3%; hearing community (including lowercase d deaf) = 97% in the United States

[@imperfectly_megan]

Captions are not only for Deaf people, they are also used by people learning English or who have a disability and need help processing language. Whereas ASL interpreting is for Deaf people. Also, some Deaf people don't know ASL and they need captions.

[@harleylakelover]

Or loss hearing In oldest ppl., too.

[@robloxking5588]

Then, what's the point of spoken language in a video if you have subtitles? Am I missing something?

[@juan1256roblox]

But over a billion people don't even know sign language. Hopefully, they will be against sign language in the world. 😂

[@ElectrekDaily]

I think I'll report on this on Monday.

[@MyMissLisa2100]

He knows exactly what he is doing. In no way is he ignorant of anything he says....his previous comments about Mr. Beast and the hearing restoration, his work into the neurolink and saying the next steps are to create vision for the blind (aka: Geordi from StarTrek), and this comment about not needing an interpreter, is all just preconditioning and testing to see the public response to what he already has planned for neurolink, AI with signing, and so forth. When he comments his "thank you for explaining" remarks, he is just placating everyone. He already knows.

[@sherryfireconley6876]

I am deaf and I understand sign language interpreter or Subtitles CC so very much interesting. English and Reading are very important for hearing impaired people but other deaf people who don't understand enough. There is no need Subtitles if sign language interpreter is on video unless if deaf people understand or not. If video doesn't show up sign language interpreter then please add Subtitles for English. If same time they would get confused lolz

What ignorant Elon is. I am disappointed with him for making comments on ASL. Those hearing people are frustrated with ASL because it looks difficult on them.. and Elon can’t learn ASL. ASL is beautiful and artful language. Subtitles or captions are hard to read while actors or actresses move fast or changing scenes so fast. Often I get lost track on captions. Please Elon plug your ears and read captions yourself and see for yourself. Why you the hearings think best option for the deaf/hard of hearing. Don’t judge us because you lack knowledge of deaf culture.

[@xjox1212]

I honestly thought Elon was more informed, so this is really surprising. Native Americans have long used their own sign languages as part of their culture, distinct from ASL. It's important not to pity or shame deaf children. They often grow up bilingual, using both ASL and English at varying levels depending on their needs. Recently, Brazil even banned X (formerly Twitter). What a shame.

[@juan1256roblox]

Elon Musk is right! Because you will be poor English if you watch at a sign language interpreter instead of substitute. Sorry I'm hard of hearing, and also I support Alexander Graham Bell. 👍🏻
