Tech mogul Elon Musk has once again called for Dr. Anthony Fauci to face prosecution, posting on X, “My pronouns are still prosecute/Fauci.” Musk’s remark highlights his ongoing criticism of Fauci’s pandemic leadership and government policies.
The post responded to commentary about Fauci’s financial benefits as a federal employee, including a $480,654 annual salary, a $355,000 pension, and a reported $11 million net worth. Musk and others also criticized the $15 million spent on Fauci’s security since his 2022 retirement.

Musk has long accused Fauci of mishandling the pandemic, alleging he funded controversial research in Wuhan and misled Congress. Fauci has denied the claims, calling them “preposterous” during a House panel investigation earlier this year.
Since taking over Twitter in 2022, Musk has lifted bans on discussing COVID-19’s origins, amplifying debates about Fauci’s decisions. Musk’s broader critique of pandemic policies aligns with conservative frustrations over government overreach.

Musk’s role in President-elect Donald Trump’s administration is growing. After donating $100 million to pro-Trump efforts and leading a voter registration campaign, Musk has pitched a government efficiency plan that Trump has endorsed.

Let's help him understand. Prosecute him for lying about:
– Lockdowns
– Masks
– Vaccine efficacy
– Remdesivir
– Origin of CovidEnough?pic.twitter.com/P8Ie9EEvLO

As Fauci remains a target of conservative criticism, Musk’s calls for accountability are poised to shape the conversation around revisiting pandemic-era policies.
