Musk: former Twitter employees had Slack channel called 'Fauci Fan Club'

This Wednesday, Twitter's new boss, Elon Musk, revealed that former employees of the social network had a Slack channel called "Fauci Fan Club" in which they fawned over Dr. Anthony Fauci, the infectious disease expert who worked as a consultant for the White House during the pandemic.

Once again, the billionaire shared information about how former employees of the company worked and what they thought.

While Musk did not elaborate further on how many workers made up the alleged Slack channel or what was discussed on it, he made it clear that the name of the group was not meant to be ironic despite all the negative things that have come to light about the epidemiologist.

"Despite these glaring issues, Twitter nonetheless had an internal Slack channel unironically called "Fauci Fan Club," he said as part of the thread criticizing the White House aide.

Musk also shared articles claiming that the epidemiologist lied to Congress about the research allegedly being conducted in Wuhan that may have sparked the pandemic.

Musk also recalled that the famous infectious disease expert wrote a paper in 2012 precisely about the experiment that could have triggered COVID-19 called "gain of function."

In that article, Fauci not only argued in favor of such studies, which make viruses more infectious and even deadly, but he even went so far as to opine that this research was so "important" that "the benefits" of the results to be generated outweighed the risks, even if it meant unleashing a pandemic.

Although the origin of the coronavirus has not yet been confirmed, recently the epidemiologist and former vice-president of EcoHealth Alliance, Andrew Huff, stated that the virus was man-made in a laboratory of the Wuhan Institute of Virology, as has been rumored.
