‘Prosecute Fauci’: Musk Takes Aim At Outgoing NIAID Director

Twitter CEO Elon Musk took a jab at Dr. Anthony Fauci in a tweet Sunday as Republicans have threatened to investigate Fauci’s knowledge of gain-of-function research related to coronaviruses that his department funded.

Fauci is stepping down from his role as director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases after five decades.

Musk tweeted Sunday that his pronouns are “prosecute/Fauci.”

Fauci has been the subject of potential investigations, which could happen when Republicans take control of the House in January. Kentucky Republican Sen. Rand Paul has threatened a wave of oversight, ranging from whether the coronavirus leaked from a lab, whether the virus was funded in part by gain-of-function research, and whether members of the FDA received royalties from the companies that created the coronavirus vaccine.

A letter from the National Institutes of Health Principal Deputy Director Lawrence Tabak to the nonprofit group EcoHealth Alliance called out the group for failing to notify the NIAID that it had created lab-generated chimeric coronavirus with the Wuhan Institute of Virology between June 2018 and May 2019 that was far more deadly than the natural virus it was derived from. When questioned on said letter and information, Fauci refused to call it “gain of function.”
