It's fair to consider them as slurs. If my memory serves me correctly, they are almost always used with a negative connotation or in a context describing "cis-people" as doing something bad. Elon is merely stating the obvious.

May as well call white a slur because, if my memory serves me correctly, people who aren't white almost always use it with a negative connotation describing "white-people" as doing something bad.
