Elon Musk Calls For Legal Action Against Fauci Over Pandemic Policies

Elon Musk, a prominent supporter of President-elect Donald Trump, has reignited his call to prosecute Dr. Anthony Fauci. Musk took to X to declare, “My pronouns are still prosecute/Fauci,” following years of outspoken criticism of Fauci’s pandemic leadership.

Musk’s post responded to a comment highlighting Fauci’s financial gains. Critics note his $480,654 retirement salary, a $355,000 pension, and a reported $11 million net worth. Musk and others have also raised questions about the $15 million spent on Fauci’s security since his retirement.

Fauci has denied accusations of wrongdoing, including claims that he funded gain-of-function research linked to COVID-19’s origins. Earlier this year, he testified before a House panel, where Republican lawmakers questioned his role in pandemic decision-making and alleged involvement in a lab leak cover-up. Fauci dismissed the accusations as “false and preposterous.”

Musk’s critique reflects his broader skepticism of government responses to the pandemic. After acquiring Twitter in 2022, Musk lifted bans on discussing the virus’s origins and has frequently challenged official narratives.

Beyond social media, Musk has been deeply involved in Trump’s return to the presidency, donating $100 million to pro-Trump efforts and leading voter registration initiatives. His plans for a government efficiency commission highlight his growing influence in Trump’s administration.

Musk’s calls for accountability resonate with conservatives eager to address perceived failures in pandemic management and revisit Fauci’s role in shaping those policies.
