Musk: My Pronouns Are "Prosecute/Fauci"

As Dr. Anthony Fauci prepares to step down as director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases at the end of the year, the leading immunologist faced derision on social media over the weekend from tech billionaire and Twitter CEO Elon Musk.

"My pronouns are Prosecute/Fauci," Musk tweeted on Sunday. The jibe, shared largely without context, drew support from prominent conservatives such as right-wing Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene — whose account was reinstated with Musk's decision to end the platform's COVID-19 misinformation policy last month, and who has been criticized in the past for her own comments mocking the use of gender pronouns — as well as backlash.

While Musk's tweet acquired roughly half a million likes in its first few hours online, health experts like Peter Hotez, a vaccine scientist and virology professor, defended Fauci's work at the forefront of U.S. pandemic mitigation efforts and urged Musk to remove the post. "For the record: Dr. Fauci has done nothing wrong, except serve our nation. In the meantime, Mr. Musk should know that 200,000 Americans needlessly lost their lives from Covid due to this kind of antiscience rhetoric and disinformation. Elon, I'm asking you to take down this Tweet," Hotez wrote. Musk has not responded publicly.
Thanks, Elon, for giving me another reason never to return to the Bird Site, you sonuva :censored: .......
 
--There is a co-ordinated criminal deception being perpetrated on the American people by radical Republican lawmakers, aided and abetted by Elon Musk.

They intend to hold a kangaroo court, in an attempt to prosecute one of the most accomplished immunologists of our time. His crime? Telling the American people the truth, against a backdrop of state sponsored disinformation, bleach and horse worming tablets.

There’s only one criminal in this defamation case and his name is NOT Dr Anthony Fauci.
 
Proving again and again what a child he is. Spent $44b to bully people and allow the right wing to turn a large social media platform into a bastion of misinformation and hate speech.

And the idiots at that platform and elsewhere worshipped that rich punk since the purchase better wake up and look at what he did to abuse his power.
 
For him it is, he can spew his "facts" without repercussions. The right fail to understand that their audience are gullible morons who can and do act on the crap they peddle. How many more people have to get hurt or threatened before stuff like this stops?
I'll tell you when it stops: when one of those right-wing trolls says the wrong thing to the wrong person at the wrong time and gets the holy hell beaten out of them.

That's
when it will stop.
