Musk tweeted, “My pronouns are Prosecute/Fauci,” which set the whole thing off. He also made the suggestion, that the documents and information about how Twitter participated in the concealment of information. However, about the pandemic would be made public as part of the “Twitter Files” project.

Musk stated in a response to Aaron Murray on Twitter that the COVID Twitter files would soon be made public. Murray had inquired as to whether or not the names of those responsible for the suspension of the scientists and physicians would be made public. “Oh, it’s coming big time,” said Musk.

Elon Musk also targeted Anthony Fauci

Musk’s pronouns tweet, which targeted Anthony Fauci, an American immunologist and the president’s top advisor. He did not sit well with those who support the LGBTQ+ community’s efforts to mainstream “pronouns.” “Elon, please don’t mock and promote hate toward already marginalised and at-risk-of-violence members of the LGBTQ+ community,” Kelly quoted Musk as saying.”

They are actual individuals with actual emotions. Additionally, Dr. Fauci is a committed public servant whose only goal is to save lives.

Fauci claims he is open minded

Musk responded that he “strongly disagrees” in order to defend himself. As for Fauci, “he lied to Congress and funded loss-of-function research that killed millions of people. Not awesome imo (in my opinion),” wrote Musk. “Forcing your pronouns upon others when they didn’t ask, and implicitly ostracising those who don’t, is neither good nor kind to anyone.

Earlier, Fauci made fun of those who claimed that COVID-19 was the result of gain of function research. As of late, he has stated that he is “open-minded about the lab leak hypothesis.” On December 19, 2017, NIH lifted a three-year ban on funding gain-of-function (GOF) research on potential pandemic viruses like avian flu, SARS, and MERS.
