The attacks of Elon Musk against Anthony Fauci are “disgusting” And “incredibly dangerous”. The spokeswoman for the White House Karine Jean-Pierre during a press conference. “These attacks, personal attacks, that we have seen are dangerous. They are disgusting. Professor Jaws he served under seven different presidents – Democrats and Republicans – we can’t forget him. He spent his entire career as a civil servant. We have to be grateful to him for that.”
The intervention of the White House comes on storm prompted by a tweet from Elon Musk calling for Fauci to be prosecuted for his role in managing the Covid-19 pandemic in America, in particular for the measures put in place to counter the spread of the virus, considered too severe by the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX. “Fauci lied to Congress and funded research with the technique of gain of function that killed millions of people,” Musk wrote.
Peter Hoetz, American scientist and virologist, wrote that “Fauci did nothing but serve his country. Musk should know that at least 200,000 Americans have lost their lives to anti-science rhetoric and disinformation”.The strongest criticism of the entrepreneur came, perhaps, from The Atlantican authoritative US magazine that published an article entitled “Elon Musk is an activist of the extreme right”, which states that the tweet on pronouns and on the LGTB community and on Fauci summarizes “everything you need to know about Musk”. “In five words – writes journalist Charlie Warzel – Musk manages to make fun of transgender and non-binary people, to show his contempt for public health officials and to send a signal to far-right trolls”.The South African billionaire has always stood out for his ideas visionaries and delusional tweets. Since he acquired Twitter for $44 billion, many have worried about the impact the entrepreneur could have on global issues. His own is enough for Musk 121 million followers, on social media, to be among the most influential men on the planet.
Despite his influence however invited by the comedian David Chapelle on stage during a show of the Punchline Comedy Club at the Chase Center in San Francisco sparked a mix of boos and applause from the audience. In a video shared on Twitter, the crowd can be heard booing the South African billionaire, who was recently criticized for mass layoffs following his Twitter purchase. “Ladies and gentlemen, make some noise for the richest man alive,” Chappelle told the audience. “You didn’t expect all of this, did you?” Musk retorted to the comedian. “It seems that some of those people who you fired are in the audience,” the artist said later.
