General relativity says the clock that is accelerating is time dilating.
This makes the cause absolute motion and not relative motion.

Therefore, GR ditches SR, which is a distinctly different and false

Einstein just calls it "spatial" for GR and a separate, though
concident and indifferent, 'in the limit', "spacial" for SR.
It's so though that Einstein already long ago arrived
at "SR is local" because "Relativity of Simultaneity is non-local",
according to his "the time" representing Einstein's clock hypothesis.
Of course that's not the same as "1905 SR" nor "1915 GR",
his circa 1935 "Relativity theory (motion)".
Anyways Einstein already has "GR first", though most followers
are ignorant of it.
