The comments from Twitter and the Tesla boss are “outrageous and untrue,” she added, after Musk called for the immunologist to be held accountable for alleged violations of his policy on the fight against COVID.

Elon Musk sharply attacked Anthony Fauci, the White House’s acting adviser on the COVID-19 pandemic, in a message on Twitter that immediately caused controversy, AFP notes.

“My pronouns are ‘pursue/Fauci,'” wrote the wealthy patron of the Twitter platform, alluding to a right-wing campaign to impeach Fauci for alleged crimes related to his involvement in the fight against the pandemic.
