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.
