Elon Musk violently attacked Dr. Anthony Fauci, the outgoing White House adviser on the Covid-19 pandemic, on Sunday in a tweet that immediately caused controversy.
“My pronouns are prosecute/Fauci,” the wealthy Twitter boss wrote, in an allusion to the right-wing campaign to sue Dr. Fauci for alleged crimes related to his involvement in the pandemic response.
He also posted a meme showing Dr Fauci saying to US President Joe Biden: “Just another lockdown, my king (…)”, in an apparent criticism of this measure adopted in the past to fight Covid.
This tweet quickly went viral, receiving over a million likes, but also sparking criticism.
